Samizdata.net quote of the day
via Samizdata Illuminatus (Arkham, Massachusetts)  

There seem to me to be very few facts, at least ascertainable facts, in politics.

- Robert Peel

The WSJ has nice write-up on a St Paul theater group doing a Klingon version of a Christmas Carol. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703395904576025760797375264.html?mod=WSJ_newsreel_lifeStyle#articleTabs%3Darticle

My last post was on snow &, well, so's this one. I measured this morning... 14 1/2 inches in the level. This is downtown Minneapolis where the heat island is, down Metro south it's over 20". Yeah this is the worst since Halloween '91 & I was here for that too. Despite the hassle, it still beats a hurricane, I tell you Cherri`.

I've been needing new tires & got them yesterday... just in time for a nice lil snow storm. It dumped depending on where you are in Mipple City 5 to 9 inches (10-20cm) of snow, what's worse is I'm now plowed in where I park. Bother! Oh BTW <lj user="autopope"> it's -10ºc and really very nice outside, I expect to be rather warm afters I get unstuck.

I thought very hard last night on the MinStf today. There are people I'd like to see but still that dog got woke & I DO value things enough not to inflict them on them that don't. Bother!

The "What's for Dinner, Tony?" show got stuck last night with a homemade pizza, the Horror of HAVING to eat like that. Anyway I have to get to the meat market I go to, beef tenderloin @ 4.99 a pound already pealed today only. I think I'll get 10# and freeze 9 in 8oz portions.

PS: My friend over at www.mostlycajun.com said this “I plan on doing darned near nothing this weekend.”, I concur.

I like a lot of modern classical music & Zoe Keating has a new album out called Into the Trees. If you liked One Cello x 16_ Natoma I think you'll like this just as much.

Random pithy quote: Politicians, senior 'crats  and diapers have one thing in common. They should all be changed regularly and for the same reason.
