Are you really pushing 90? Wow, congratulations! I'd rather sit on my ass and drink, to be honest, but I stay busy cuz – USE IT or LOSE IT!

True, been making country wines for 65 years. I think the tannins have helped preserve me.

Picked up a dozen Jumbo eggs today at the local grocery store for $3.99. A dozen large were $5.49. I thought maybe the jumbos were short dated but nope. Late January expiration date.

I learn something new every day. I didn't know Elephants laid eggs!

After much TV weather sturm and drang about flash freezing, all the cold did here was what it usually does when it gets cold fast. It DRIED the roads.

Yep, we got lucky, the hurricane winds dried the roads before they could freeze.

When the ground/road temp is high and a quick freeze comes, the road dry off every single time here. They did it in the Midwest when I lived there, and also in Va. So where this whole BE VERY AFRAID due to flash freezing BS got started, I dunno. I was driving today on perfectly dry roads and the radio was going off about how travel in our area could be treacherous.

We didn't even get but a trace of snow. Just real cold. You could not pay me enough to live in Buffalo, NY, though...

Dear Floridians,

You are going to be ok!
Here are some quick tips for those who aren’t sure how they are supposed to navigate this weekend’s unholy cold weather.

🏝 Wear real shoes. Your flip flops will have to fend for themselves for a few days. They will be okay.

🏝 Socks! Wear them. Preferably with real shoes.

🏝 Put the doors back on your Jeeps.

🏝 Consider pants. The extra fabric may feel a tad foreign at first, but you gotta power through.

🏝 Stock your fridge now. Publix will be closed. Assume a record number of employees will call in dead. They’ve never been this cold before.

🏝 You've likely never noticed it but there is a setting on your AC unit at home that makes it blow out warm air. Use it. Look for a little fire symbol or the word H E A T

🏝 There is also a similar function for the ac in your car… and turn off the seat AC feature.

🏝 Umbrella. Use an umbrella if you do venture outside. Not for rain, it will help you avoid head injuries caused by frozen iguanas falling from trees. Those suckers are heavy.

🏝 Wash your hair now. You’re not going to this weekend. Perhaps pick up some dry shampoo on your way to pick up the last Publix sub of the week.

🏝 Take deep breaths, you got this. No deep breaths on Saturday though. You’re lungs aren’t used to air that cold. They will collapse… best hold your breath until Monday

Florida, may the odds be ever in your favor...

Areas in BC are experiencing colder temps than they are used to. City water mains are blowing up in the streets.

Maybe? Where this whole BE VERY AFRAID due to flash freezing BS got started????

As you can clearly see from this official US government example, all weather ceases at the Canadian and Mexican borders. So I wouldn't know.

I think there are some moments in the development of a civilization that you just can't recover from.

I believe this is one!
