No posts, class. No power, no internet

I miss you, old father William.
Do you think that Greenland is the new island of Melos?
I was thinking about that old Marlon Brando movie; “The Wild One”. At one point, the sane female lead asks Brando “What are you rebelling against?”. His answer is “Wadda’ you got?”. Do politically active kids ever really have more than that?
Enjoy your time off

Miss you, too!!

God bless, C-Marie

Ice storm. No power. How romantic. Break out the candles, stoke a fire, and open another bottle of wine. After a healthy day of chainsaw work. Sounds like a cure.

So this is an open thread then.

Something to do while Sarge is on break.
Read some of Feynman’s Lectures on Physics: https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/

April Fools (?)

Gaylord MI is heavy hit by snow and ice storms according to the Detroit News. Power to tens of thousands across north and south Michigan has been out for four days. Gov Gretchen Witless is bamboozled and begging Trump to do something. She is sending in the National Guard, but to do what isn’t clear.

Michigan is no stranger to weather. For some reason, however, state government is unprepared for common occurrences. We hope and pray that Dr. Briggs and his family and neighbors are doing okay. The residents have wood stoves and generators. They know how to stock pantries. They help each other out. Tough places grow tough people who don’t depend on feckless incompetent government.

Thanks, Uncle Mike!! Praying for God’s weather for our Briggs and family and all!!

God bless, C-Marie
