Great halftime show! We didn't bother with the second half of the game, though. First half was too boring. Left the party to try to salvage bedtime.

lol, Screen Time notification looks buggy this week. I was very concerned that I somehow spent an average of 6 hours a day on my phone, but there is no way I spent: - 8 hours on DuckDuckGo search - 6 hours on Wikipedia - 4 hours on

The thermometer on the weather station out back read -4F when we got up this morning. The insulation work we did the last two years has been a huge help this winter, but it looks like the low single digits are about the limit, and our high efficiency gas boiler is struggling to keep up.

You're absolutely right ā this actually *isn't* a place of honor. * I thought esteemed deeds were commemorated here, but that was wrong. * The message wasn't about treasure, it was about danger. That's on me. * I won't sugarcoat it ā the danger is still present, and now it's in your body.

A decent proxy for how well a town is managed is what the roads look like 48 hours after a snow storm, compared to the other towns in the area. This morning, Peekskill's roads are wet and covered in slush, while the roads in Cortlandt, Garrison, and Cold Spring are bone-dry.
