That was a lot of snow. I hope you have the best time this weekend. It sure does sound like fun. Once the numbers come down let's make a plan and get together. Safe travels!
I decided to check out your writing from the other place. Nicely done.
There is some software that deals with some of that -- Grammarly, Scrivener, and ProWritingAid (what I use) -- and it is superb.
I live in Austin by God Texas whereat it will be 68F today and no snow. I do have to wear sunscreen, so it isn't as completely cool as it sounds.
Neil Young:
Under 30: "Hey, who is Neil Young?"
30 - 60: "Wow, Neil Young is still alive."
60+: "What the Hell is Spotify?"
Joe Rogan lives in Austin and is a genuinely nice, generous guy. The two guys, leading doctors, he had on his show that raised all the stink were:
1. The medical doctor inventor of mRNA technology and the inventor of a digital human immune system upon which to test all medicines at the genome level. There is only one of these guys and he explained exactly why the vaccines work the way they do.
2. A medical doctor who is the most prolific medical author in the history of the world going all the way back to that Greek guy who wrote the Hippocratic Oath.
Neither of these guys are bomb throwers or zealots.
Joe Rogan also had media darling Sanjay Gupta on before either of these incredible chaps to present the medical view of CNN. Hard to say Rogan is not a fair arbiter of the idea world.
At the end of the day, Joe Rogan is a Johnny Carson type show host from back when late night was funny and it wasn't all about the host. He brings interesting people on his show and he lets them talk.
Neil Young BTW is a virulent homophobe racist who has said some incredibly vile things.
“You go to a supermarket and you see a faggot behind the fuckin’ cash register, you don’t want him to handle your potatoes.” – Neil Young in Melody Maker, September 1985
In the end, we are all far more alike than different.
Our native inclinations -- particularly when one has children and has real skin in the future -- are universally good. It is when we encounter the friction of life we are changed.
Sometimes friction exposes great character and sometimes it is just a bloody wound.
Raising children puts us in touch with the irrationality of life -- like when your 4-year old wants to wear a "princess" dress to church and you learn to deal with things.
A sense of humor -- the commodity today in the greatest short supply in America today -- helps.

It drifted under the covered part of the patio. 😬 Yes to the plan!

Aww thanks. Much appreciated. Next up, I’ll check your work out. These are the kinds of dialogues about differences that will make a difference!

I have no kids but I am the proud aunt of five members of the next greatest generation. And I believe in the common good, which helps, always.
It's our Woodstock on Ice... Can't wait!
Have foot warmers, will travel! (Thanks for stopping by!)
There is pure joy and satisfaction looking at a freshly snow-blowed driveway. Beats a snowplow any day!
I agree…so satisfying. (And the edges of the grass stay intact!) (Thanks for reading!)
