Our wings are not tired.

Go invincibility! With all the travel you do I am grateful you have that booster in your immunity bank.

Need to make serious plans to head south. 34F outside this morning, and a whopping 47 inside. Not upstairs where I had the heater running, but I don't have them going downstairs while I am sleeping. All running now! Yes, I am well bundled and comfy enough, but I don't want to have my water freeze.

Silly cats still insisted on going outside this morning! I'll check often to see if they are ready to come back inside.

From my news feed this morning - YouTube is blocking all anti-vaccine content and banning prominent anti-vaccine activists

Now if only FB would do the right thing.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

To brighten your day, there's this - young man trying recipes from the past. Many are horrible, a couple are good. It's his commentary and reactions that make them worth watching.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

One of the professors at my college had written a book of ancient Roman recipes. A lot of them seemed to include garum (spelling?) which seems to be like the fish sauce used in some ... Vietnamese? ... recipes.

Ha! Love the date cream guy.

The food history thing looks kinda cool. I'm saving that.

The date cream guy is for humor ... the historical cooking guy seems to be pretty informative and, while amusing, less flat-out funny.

For funny, here's a video on how one law got made.

Thrive to spite them

Glad Youtube is taking down the anti vaccine stuff. I hope it's for all anti vax stuff and not just Covid anti vax.

I was supposed to go in at 8:30 am today but yesterday I got a text asking me to come in at 6 so I did. And it was kind of a.. not a shit show exactly but totally unorganized with new procedures, changed schedules, etc. I hope tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow I get off at 3 again and I'm going to come home, get some stuff, change, and then go and see Mom/spend the night/spend Friday with her. So I'm really happy. I haven't seen her in a few weeks.

The "good" news at work is that open enrollment is starting soon and our premiums aren't going to go up. I mean it is good news but it's not like, our deductible is going down or something. The HR manager made a point of saying that the premiums are actually going up but the company is absorbing the extra cost. So that is good. Especially since we had a whole bankruptcy/restructuring thing

Tomorrow is the day we are supposed to have information out about the vaccine mandate and testing, but we are not having a meeting to go over it until Friday. I expect it to be a shit show of phone calls and emails tomorrow.
