Tales of Home [7]

There's probably enough peanut shells and whatnot scattered about the barrel that Petty will hear it coming.  I hope!

you know The Thing? well The Thing in Petty's fridge makes it look like Taylor Swift.

These are the sort of pics that get me in the wintery, Christmas mood

It's only started to get real wintery cold here on the East Coast in the past week or so, but we've yet to see any snow in Maryland.

Gon' be a brown Christmas.

heres hoping its brown here too. I hate snow. I couldn't live in Fyordlandia what with the snow, the darkness and the Trolls under the bridges.

After the leaves fall the only thing that redeems a city (and often much of the country) is snow.

and Starbucks.

Gimme dat brown Christmas.

Spoke too soon about the brown Christmas.

They did this last year. But the thing about this Jamar Clark shooting that they're not addressing, and they will never talk about, is the domestic abuse involved and the only reason the cops were called int he first place was because he was abusing his girlfriend. Black, white, asian, mexican, native American, whatever, this was not a star citizen by any means, yet these protesters will latch onto his death and try to ruin, or at least disturb, everyone's holiday.

Beyond the domestic assault call alleging Clark had hurt his girlfriend that brought police to the North Minneapolis neighborhood, he spent three years in and out of prison for a robbery conviction. More recently, he was on probation for threatening to burn down an ex-girlfriend's house after a bitter breakup and was awaiting trial for a July arrest for fleeing police in a high-speed chase.

It's not a bagpipe training school, life could be worse.

Is there a bagpipe training school ? & what do they train ? how to BE a bagpipe ? Or are bagpipes trained in unarmed combat ?

Gone with the wind... *gulp*

I managed to get up early enough for daylight so i am very happy

The wind is still howling & its still fooking raining !

Same here

here too. with hail for variety.

We had hailstones yesterday & my little cat Tulip was hit hard by them, she came bolting in thru the window squealing her head off

fog and yet more fog.
