looks like we missed whatever was supposed to get here last night but this morning we might get a few flurries. the forecast removed all mentions of any snow, rain, ice, sleet, etc... but i do see something on the radar so we'll see what actually gets here. they have not changed the forecast...

by #4 it's fend for yourself as much as you want. :)

yeah, that one i gave up on shortly after starting to watch it. there was another one that came out that i also couldn't watch for very long as it was just missing too much that was pretty clear in the books.

hummingbirds also can eat gnats or any of the tiny other flies or insects that can come out at lower temperatures. we see them hatching in the woods and they look like someone has sprinkled black pepper all over the snow.

investopedia has a lot of short bits to introduce topics and then you can wander around from topic to topic as much as you care to read. however the real long term aspect is the discipline of having a budget and mostly sticking to it and making choices to keep working on my plans for the longer...

when you were younger they probably weren't pumping those cows so full of gunk/antibiotics... i'm hoping that practice is being changed but i don't know how that is going these days.

oatmeal, chocoate, peanut butter and a few cashews for extra chew. :) very cold out there this morning but a scarf takes care of that.

in the spring you might want to pull some of the wood chips to the side to let the sun warm up the garden soil.

Galaxy Quest is a little more violence and adult themed a little, but nothing graphic, just goofy humor mostly. small kids probably won't even notice... i've not seen the recent Dune movies but will try to catch them at some point. it is a favorite book of mine and i've re-read it many times...

one of my heroes. :)

i've always liked complicated games or ones that involved building like Lincoln Logs, Legos, Erector Sets, and a lot of impromptu use of random tile pieces from the family flooring business, but as a game nothing topped Mouse Trap for me even if the version we had was missing parts so i didn't...

there are many versions of Monopoly now. i've spent many hours playing it as a kid but can't recall the last time i played. maybe about 20yrs ago. since i liked model railroads and trains there was (perhaps still is - i've not looked into it lately) a game called Railroad Tycoon that got me...

as much as i like to read i've still never made it all the way through Great Expectations, though i've also not tried in 40yrs so perhaps this could be the year? and if i do then i can stop calling it Grape Expectorations...

i don't think so as there are trees growing in places on mountains that get a lot of snow up to the tree line. that's the point where trees can't persist because they can't grow enough (too cold for too long). if the piled enough snow to last a lot longer it would probably kill the trees but...

Flight of the Navigator, E.T., Short Circuit, Galaxy Quest and My Big Fat Greek Wedding are some movies that i like which i can watch again at times. for seasonal movies i do admit to liking the original Grinch movie, the Rudolph animated one too. for not so seasonal there is Horton Hears a Who.
