Bitter Cold

It's been cold, sleeting and icy in North Texas, but so far I haven't lost power this weekend, so at least that's better than in 2021 when I suffered a blackout. I know other people in other states have it worse. Borowitz's satire is funny, but I do hope people stay safe.

Of course, in Minnesota they are still suffering the ICE invasion and another murder. This latest outrage apparently got Schumer to finally say that Senators would block the funding bill. The government may shutdown on 1/30/26, which I would be glad for. We didn't win any real concessions on the last shutdown. I hope they hold out this time. It's way past time for them to fight harder.

Meanwhile, I did manage to early vote in my local election before the icy weather started, but I was the only voter there. I hope it was just an odd time of day, and not because nobody's bothering to vote.
