Ba-dam ba-DUMMMMMM

On one hand, I would love a snow day so I can just run around with Lando and play video games and whatnot while my chicken chili verde simmers in my slow cooker; on the other hand my girlfriend is supposed to fly into BWI tomorrow after a series of lengthy flights back from Japan after her grandmother’s funeral, and I’d really hate for her to get stuck somewhere.

I wish that DC was expecting more snow, personally.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

It's going down to -30 in Toronto and the city has formally requested the use of Moss Park armories for housing the homeless. Moss park is one of the poorest parts of the city, there's a bunch of public housing around it and had the first naloxone injection tent in the country.

I don't think the DND is gonna allow that to happen, but if they do, a reservist is gonna get charge parade'd for punching a homeless dude as he shits down the barrel of a C3.

Churches are kinda lovely about that now. An exception being the catholics, but they don't keep people in churches for letting in homeless outside of large cities these days. If you're in a smaller city on the coast, won't be a nun or priest there to let you in.

The worst part of snow is having to wash salt off your car every other day :sigh:

Also the rust if you don't.

Yeah this. That or bribing your sister-in-law to bring her large teenage sons to do it for hot cocoa.

In other news my New Years Resolution this year was to read more books and husbear bought a kindle paperwhite for me. This thing is nice! Now I need some (nonfiction) books to read on! (Finishing a hardcover copy of American Radical by Tamer Elnoury — which is a fantastic read by the way) I’ve got Dreadnought by Robert Massie on the list so far.

Re-enlist as a "Snow Removal Technican" MOS 0FU2 to learn the proper way to remove snow.
Or toughen the gently caress up, hire a plow service, pay teenagers to shovel for you, or use a snow-blower (or backpack leaf blower).

I'll just ride it out, it's been relatively mild snow wise this year thank God. Haven't had to roof rake this year much at all, which, let me tell you, can be quite the workout as well

Prepare to read books twice as fast and chew through much more of them, because that's what e-readers apparently do to you.

This is true and it's awesome.

I'm just getting two, planning on going with just local sedation, maybe nitrous if it's free.

Can't argue though, $30 for each tooth removal thanks to insurance.

I was born without wisdom teeth.
