Hey there! Friday again. Let’s take a look at what’s on my mind this week.
Winter. It seems winter waited until the last possible weeks to show up this year. Maybe we haven’t kept up with our calendars that we think we’re so smart with. Season do what seasons do. I laugh at ‘forecasters’ who now rely on computer models and simulation runs. I remember growing up with old weathermen that would use observations and experience to predict what they knew no one can truly predict. Last night’s forecast here “little to no snow accumulations”
Valentines Day. Meh, I never have bought into the hype of a created ‘holiday’ that so blatantly was created to do nothing but sell cards, candy and flowers. I fell for it in my early 20s, only to have girls that were going out with guys from the new year until February 14th, just to have someone to be with, gift them and feed them. I’ve been married 26 years, everyday is Valentine’s Day to me.
Impeachment. I’m so friggin’ tired of politics so this will be short. I hate the fact that Congress has collectively decided to trample on the Constitution to railroad their desire to keep their future competition from playing. Can’t figure that riddle out? Good for you, it means you haven’t been keeping up and that’s not a bad thing.
Back to Valentine’s Day. If you really, really want to do something for the woman in your life, men, do me a favor. Go check out yourfinalwarning.com for some really good deals on women’s self defense. It’s run by a friend of mine on Twitter, @Alighttouch1 and she is a fantastic advocate for protection and awareness. When we can’t be there to protect her, let’s make sure they can protect themselves. (I’m not an affiliate, just a fan)
Finally, you’ve seen them on the internet in the meme world. The roadside signs from what you would think would be a sign generating website. They look something like this:
Well, I’m here to tell you, they are real. The El Arroyo is a real restaurant in the Austin Texas area. Give their website a check out (again, I’m not an affiliate for them) and they have a great story.
