We have a body harness for Percy. I can literally pick her up with it if I need to.

All too familiar. If it's any consolation to you my employer takes it as a point of pride to remain open in extreme weather.

Hope it sounds like a purring kitten now.

That sucks on a few different levels.

Just got back home. We left at 11, saw Dog Man ( I feel like somebody was smoking dope when they made that movie), then we went to Stars and Strikes. We got 3 1/2 games in the hour I got us. When we were finishing our last game, some lady came up and gave us free unlimited arcade, laser tag, and bumper cars. We ended up staying there to eat and use the card. We had a good time, I hadn’t been bowling in years.

Apparently a construction worker in our county was killed today when the trench they were laying pipe in collapsed and buried him alive.

Highs in the 20s and breezy today. The sky was pink this morning driving in, no pic. Well the weather people nailed it, zero inches of snow for this storm (remember they were saying 0 to 30 inches).

Saw this in my hometown movie theatre. Place is Pre-WW2... Chairs were not comfortable enough to sleep in. Otherwise I would have very easily and quickly fallen asleep...

There was an older couple there with I guess their grandkids, they fell asleep and were snoring loud. My friends daughter looked at us and we busted out laughing.

The funeral just went by our office heading to Newberry College for Lieutenant Hawkins. A lot of cars from our department and some as far away as Lawerenceville GA

today is JDs favorite day of the year.....

https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/...ay-february-18

NATIONAL DRINK WINE DAY

While February 18th is observed annually as National Drink Wine Day, it would be a shame to celebrate only one day a year. Perhaps this day is just a reminder to drink wine.
