Storm's a comin'!

 My new blog friend, Scary Mary, said she likes rodents. Here is the kids' gerbil. Aster is in the background, and she is now 14. Oct. 2016, Barney is no longer of this world. He was so cute.


💰The taxes on Canadian goods going into the US (25%) were signed off last week, due to begin march 4th. We've Canadian Premiers meeting with US governments below the border. This Economic Terrorism is shocking. 

The broligarchs are messing up all sorts of things. When you Google anything, you must check sources. Google Maps are no longer a viable source. Look what happens when you search the Gulf of Mexico from a Canada-based computer. In the US, I am told, it appears as 'Gulf of America.'

Bing maps has not given in to the orange cheeto.

After my morning read of news and other tragedies, I got it together to go to a meeting of local volunteers at our agency. I wore a mask for the hour. I felt safer.


The cats are feeling housebound. I came to bed one night and Cinnamon was in Nutmeg's spot. That is rather cheeky! I added another cat bed and we'll hope for world peace.


We're a bit cold this morning. Not the red warning! 



They expect 5 cm/hour late tonight, into tomorrow. I did get more gas for the snowblower, although it was doing a little bit of backfiring. I put in oil and filled 'er up.

We had a huge wind come through, and I took down Joe's flag. Yesterday I put it back up. 


This is the trailcam I sorta lost! I totally forgot where it was. But I'm not failing!

Loved the selfie! Trump is an idiot. I may have to switch to Bing.

I was reading a new article and it called it the Gulf of America. Now I look at that news source as bent by MAGA. But it was talking about facts of the efforts by lawyers to curb some of the most egregious efforts of Musk and his crony. We just have rain with temperatures just above freezing...and fortunately here there's no ice on limbs of trees (yet). Another day of this.

I'm waiting for prices to go even higher, what a massive fail. Barney was cute, for a rodent!

Hello,
I expect prices to go up for everything , thanks to these tariffs.
What surprises me is the approval rating this man has, I am waiting for it to hit his cult followers. We had 2-3 inches of snow overnight. Take care, have a wonderful day!

Very impressive carrying the flag, and never failing, XXXXThe video full screen was also VERY impressive, so clear, those turkeys behind strutting their stuff too.

I went out yesterday and bought salt in case we get the freezing rain they were talking about for here.

And it hasn't even been a whole month yet.. imagine where we will be in 4 years. Actually don't imagine.. it is too scary a thought.

Aster is adorable! Thank you. I had a bunch of hamster too.

Love your term Economic Terrorism. Yep, what a mess our crappy prez is. I'd be happy to buy Canadian items. Linda in Kansas

Denmark wants to buy California. I like it but Trump won't get it.

He’s also changing Denali back to Mr. McKinley. He is such an evil jerk!
