If you get mail doing bad weather that's nice, you must leave next to the post office. Here in my neighborhood you lucky to see a mailman twice a week. On Jan 25, 2021 I received a letter that was mailed on August 10, 2020. It only had to travel 4 miles, it only took 6 months. I have neighbors complaining about having to pay late fees on their bill because they are not receiving them. Mailman says Sorry not my fault, he can only deliver what they give him.
Now you know why the USPS is $20 billion in debt every year. Bad help, bad morale & sending stuff snail mail is going out of style.

I got a frog like that for my sister-in-law. We named it Jeremiah but she never set it in the sun so it never glowed. I like your turtle!!

It ended well! My nerves were shot to pieces, but a win is a win! ???????

In other news Daughter has sold her car. It’s a 10 year old Ford Fiesta, previously mine, but she’s moving to her own flat in London at the end of the month and there’s nowhere to park the car. To be fair it’s been on a battery charger in the garage mostly. It’s hardly been driven.

Anyway, in a stroke of luck, I posted about it on the rescue staff snd volunteer group and one of the staff members wanted it. Her 13 year old Fiesta had been written off following an accident that wasn’t her fault.

We’re going to feel sad saying goodbye to the Fiesta. It’s just going to confuse me when I see it in the rescue car park now! ?
It was a close match and the Scots did well but I'm very pleased it was another win for Wales.
My Fiesta will be 14 this year and apart from some normal wear and tear it's been great.

Chompers new casa... I’ve got to go buy a bigger tree and a few more vines. He’s got a little waterfall in there but I don’t think you can see it in the picture. I ordered a battery operated one because I did not want to have to put holes in the screen for cords.. it’s 4’ x 2’ and I don’t think he knows what to do with all that space.. I didn’t have near enough greenery to fill it up..
He'll love that!

If this makes anybody feel a bit warmer, I was glad sad to hear on the news today, that the polar vortex is 12 degrees warmer than it used to be. If you believe that we are experiencing global warming.?
As cold as it's been it's still very worrying when you see the reduction of ice in the Arctic and things like the glacier breaking in the Himalayas destroying the Rishiganga dam. :(

There's a George Carlin segment you should look at online on climate change. It puts a lot of things in perspective, imhao.

Mankind is a mere very small thumbprint on the time spectrum of this planet.

You have to ask yourself why are all the elites buying & building big mansions on ocean beaches, including Mr. Gore? Pres. Obama is building a mansion on a beach in Hawaii, after buying a mansion on the beach in Martha's Vineyard. Just sayin...

We just got hit with 20 inches of snow 2 weeks ago and another 6 last week
The weather man said our snowfall is double what it was last year. It must have hit all at once though. It hasn't melted off by noon either every day. So we have half melted snow everywhere with more to come. I'm kinda glad but when I was younger it didn't take a polar vortex to get snow. So that vortex needs to take a hike.?

I guess they think they can fly out in a private plane if push comes to shove.? Enjoy it while you can.

Yea and all that cold freezing weather is supposed to be up there. We always had lots of snow and a winter wonderland and didn't need a vortex to have it.
