The government is off the rails. We(the government) is actively trying to take over at least sovereign countries. They also have invaded a state and killed a few citizens. And the 1/2 hour national news..it’s all about a football game. You can’t make this stuff up..

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

What lake effect is like. Yesterday we had a dusting of snow, some mud. Today, this. And just west of us, maybe an inch.

The reason for Unions! #unionproud

The best cold weather dinner! Homemade Hot and sour soup, with a side of soup dumplings.

I believe my own eyes and ears and lived experience. Not a bunch of proven liars who happen to be destroying the last vestiges of confidence in our government.

Doomscrolling has reminded me, it’s tongue out Tuesday.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants. But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

Hoss’ theme song. He had a few but this was the best description.

Bears win! My husband basically turned off the game at half time! Went to hockey.. unbelievable!

The kid pitched a shutout! Commessco stoped all of the 31 shots he faced! Along with 6 on 5 for about 3 minutes at the end. Hawks 3-0 Predators.

Hawks called up a goalie from Rockford.He’s young, 23. You could tell he was overwhelmed last night. We glanced at him during the anthem. He was glancing around with that look of amazement, trying to take it all in.

I’m catching up on my figure skating viewing. Why can’t they have some consistent way of showing of the judging and minimums and maximums for the elements? For example, ice dancing in the Ntl., shows the most pints possible. In the indivual, it the opposite. They start with minimum score.

Tough news. "Mr. Goalie," hockey legend Glenn Hall has died at the age of 94. There will never be another like him. 502 consecutive games played as a goalie - no backup, no nights off - all without a mask. Just different.

Wow

A bit of a bang bang goal scoring.. Hawks 3-2 Blows.

Mr. Oliver Moore breaks the tie! Cue Chelsea! Hawks 2-1 Blues..

The first period break with Conor Bedard is hilarious! It seems he likes Wayne and not Biz. And Henrik or Hank..

A sad day in Black Hawks history. His number flies in the rafters and now Mr. Glenn Hall flies again.. He was the goalie of my youth. His name is on the Stanley Cub three times! He will always be #1! RIP Mr. Hall

The only appropriate reaction from Congress should be horror followed by an immediate move to impeach. This emasculated, pitiful excuse for a Congress should be sacked en masse in November. #ProudBlue

Boy, I just looked back at some of my posts, 5 years ago. January 6,2021. The one that stands out? My reply that sanity went out the windows and out of sight at 2pm. How much I had no idea.. today I hardly recognize this country.

Never Forget!

This Venezuela thing is being manipulated. Maduro was paraded out in time for most people to see on their morning news, if they watch morning news. He was due in court at noon. He was on before 9am being loaded in a truck. Along with a load of DEA and other heavily armed guys.

Congress must take back its power! I know margins are incredibly tight. But now more than ever, Congress needs to take back its power.

The mansplaining is getting so bad on FB that I’m going to be blocking the whole thread, soon. All I did was point out that no hats were able to be thrown in the first hat trick in a Winter Classic.

The president against remote work has been at his house in Florida for 3 weeks.

I’m so proud of the Black Hawks! They are learning to win! Without Bedard and Frankie. Their top 2 forwards. They are on a 3 game streak, and no one expected any wins. They are learning to win in OT, win shootouts, too. Anyway They won again! Hawks 3-Vegas 2.

It’s kind of fun watching and listening to Brady dig himself out of “the Bears Suck” then and into Caleb Williams and BenSmith are geniuses.

Back in June 2023, Trump said, “When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over, we would have gotten all the oil.” It’s never been about the drugs. It’s always been about the oil.

Only the NHL… has the stands too far away for the biggest tradition in the game. The hat throw for a hat trick. First one in a Winter Classic. No hats on the ice.

Arty Sparty Party (#55) scores on the PP! Hawks1-0 Stars.

It must be officially winter! Made a big pot of beef stock, last night. Beef vegetable barley and French onion soup, soon. Started some turkey necks for bone broth Augie topper, today.

Bonus hockey in Chicago! 2-2. Let’s GO Hawks!

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

What is it like to live in a “snow belt”. You come home last night, after torrential rains closed I94 in Indiana, and wake up to this! BTW it got up to 63, yesterday.

Whose brilliant idea was to have the Bears play their last game at the same time the Black Hawks play?

Hawks win!! HAWKS WIN in Dallas, in a shootout no less!

Wowza! Hawks just got a tie to break their losing streak and against the Dallas Stars! Without Bedard or Nazar or Foligno.

I learned that Chicago Fire isn’t about soccer or a documentary about Chicago history. It’s a cheesy drama. Beware!

Tonight’s view.

There are times you really miss the real people in your life. I’m missing my Grandparents today, especially. They were my unconditional love and support.

My view this morning.

In honor of the “Green Bay sucks” chants at the BlackHawk game tonight, I’m wearing my blue and orange flannel pjs and an orange tee. Night night

Tales of late last night. I went in our half bath. Packed up my makeup and skincare and did some organizing. Went in with my black glasses on. Saw my brown glasses, while working. Thought I picked them both up. Got ready to leave and couldn’t find either pair. I picked up but where did I put them?

Augie. Post holiday shower, with his jingle collar.

Augie is currently wearing his jingle bell collar. He’s really handing out the angel wings today! #It’sAWonderfulLife

Man! Aaron Rogers is one ugly human. Husband adds “in many, many ways.”

Spencer Tracy “be very very careful, you’re in the major leagues, here” when a coworker began sparring with Kate H. 😂

One of the highlights of this Christmas has been finding the bag of assorted gifts we purchased at a local art fair. We have one of the best art fairs in the country here, in St. Joe. Curated and always has something for someone. We came home with:

Watching Desk Set this afternoon while I clean, organize, wrap. Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn and a bit of a Christmas movie. What’s not to like? Someone should remake this and substitute AI. But who would they get for the lead roles?
