I often thought there was a conspiracy. I'd finish the driveway and 10 minutes later the county would come by and block the entrance. There are reports that we may get a lot of snow here this weekend. Something akin to some of the snowfalls in the mid to late 70s. Thankfully I have a small driveway, but for the first time in over 5 years I'm missing my snowblower

From Today's JVL feed... https://www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-davos-world-economic-forum-rant A couple of things caught my ire... Trump, who as far as I can tell has only read a book supposedly written by Hitler, according to his late wife. Does not know that the fledgling nation that later became the U-S was soundly defeated by the British and Canadians at the Battle of Quebec during the Revolutionary War. Until Trump the US/Canadian ties have been strong. Boston was one of the first cities to provide aid once word got out about the Halifax Explosion in 1919. Halifax graciously offered aid and hospitality to US aircraft following 9/11 Florida and US cities practically depend on Canadian Tourism during the winter months...

What you get when you elect a bully who employees bullies

This seems a bit drastic to me. Cut the pre season to 2 games, do an 18 game season, each team plays one game overseas.

I think we all have a couple. I have a brother in law who has never held a real job in over 50 years. Most of his "earnings" are "under the table". Yet he still rants about "freeloaders" Also a cousin who lost his job about 20 years ago as a pharmaceutical rep. Staunch Trumper to the point of being blocked by most of the family on social media. Still thinks kids need to have "common sense" beat into them by their parents

May be time to express my profound appreciation for Opus

Like all his "investments'.

If my congress critter, bought and paid for by Newport News Shipbuilding (which is not located in his district) would actually hold a Town Hall there would be several of us here saying exactly this.

Another very fine person. He needs to be locked up in a Venezuelan prison for a very long tims

That is pretty much the whole crux of Trump's grievances. A black man made a few jokes at his expense...

For those of us who grew up with coal furnaces

So many memes too little time. Too bad he never read them

Just take a look at that "hot 2024 darling team in D-C". Plus their schedule will probably be a bit more daunting.

And to think I once quit a job because they spelled my name wrong on a 10 year employee recognition plaque. (There were other reasons, that was the one I gave them when I tendered my resignation)
