He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figured I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

Stories, great flapping ribbons of shaped space-time, have been blowing and uncoiling around the universe since the beginning of time. And they have evolved. The weakest have died and the strongest have survived and they have grown fat on the retelling . . . stories, twisting and blowing through the darkness.

Chicago and Lake Michigan from space at night, with the aurora Borealis and the Milky Way (wonder if you can see Santa and his sleigh in there?)

Earthrise.
On Christmas Eve of 1968, the Apollo 8 crew photographed Earth rising over the lunar surface as they orbited the Moon.

When the reindeer were very grumpy when one called in sick, they would abruptly halt the sleigh, causing Santa to injure his leg as he fell out of the sleigh.
In those instances, Santa would write up the reindeer for "fell on knees."

Sometimes reindeer called in sick on #ChristmasEve .
This caused the other reindeer on the team to be exceedingly grumpy.
Santa had no tolerance for this.
He would write up the team. The charges? Missed deer, meaners.

I think it’s important to repeat: you don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the can or wear clothes.
Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's not about keeping secrets. It's about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being.
Your privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.

Holloways - from the Anglo-Saxon ‘hola weg’, or sunken road - are ancient green lanes carved over centuries by livestock, wagon wheels and human feet.
Locals call this one Hunt’s Lane but you won’t find that name on a map. Shivers down your spine are guaranteed as you follow in the footsteps of countless others and wonder: what errands were all those folk doing, what was on their mind?

The wind-chill temperature here in Minnesota today is about -40 F. Yikes!
By the way, here’s a fun fact!
-40 F is exactly the same temperature as -40 C. It’s the only temperate level where that’s true.
And they’re both really f-ing cold…

The #Jan6 Committee report is out. The details are damning.
Read it here and pass it on.

Oh, and I forgot...As I was taking the eggs out, the whites had overflowed the carton and dripped on my suede mukluks...
I guess I can't blame EVERYTHING on the holiday season blues:
1. I've been waiting to see a specialist for a health issue I've been dealing with since last January. I've called the referred provider twice in the last 2 months and they "don't have the referral." I've called my primary 3 times about this and they've sent the referral 3 times now. Even if I get the referrals straightened out, there's a 3 to 6 month wait.
2. S.O. doesn't want to use Chrome on his main computer, so I bought him a really stripped down Windows laptop. All he did was complain while I was getting all the Chrome apps working, which he needs for tele-med visits.
3. Went to the grocery store to stock up on a few things. The price of eggs is ridiculous, but I bought a dozen jumbos. I put them in a cooler in the back of the SUV for protection. When I opened the hatch, the cooler fell out and 1/2 of the eggs broke. Scrambled eggs for supper, and the dogs get the rest.
4. Speaking of dogs, was playing with one of them and her mouth ran into my hand. Now I have a couple of butterfly bandages that I have to keep changing.
The next 8 hours have to be better!

In the spirit of the holidays, we have a gift for the best fans in the world: more Death & Dream.
This deleted scene from The Sandman episode "The Sound of Her Wings" gives us a little more insight into why Death is the way she is. We hope you enjoy it.
