The Coffee House

@Gary A. That's why Alabama weather is great. We get such a wide variety that changes daily, and we don't have to drive anywhere

We don't have to wait ... just drive to whatever we desire. In fact, we have glaciers in California, so even in summer we can enjoy ice and snow.

Just got back from a stroll with the camera. It started snowing lightly here between 7:00 and 8:00. The roads are wet, the grass is wet and there's a tiny bit of snow sticking to the leaves. I'll have to head back out later, after more snow has accumulated.

Of course, the DC Metropolitan Area drivers are already living up to their reputation - crash on the Capital Beltway portion of I-95 involving "many cars and a truck, possibly jack-knifed" just north of the work exit.

Off to Miss Maggie's charm school.

Light snow falling now. Going to chillax all day. Have a few ideas for the weekly challenge that I’m going to try, then some binge watching (Stranger Things?), maybe try out the new air fryer feature on the convection oven I bought...

Snowing here, too. Planning on a day of rest and recovery. I haven't had a cold, but this semester has been a long and challenging one, and I am exhausted.

Two more weeks to go before I get a break. Of course, faculty get a break between semesters, but even staff gets a week off since the college closes down entirely between Christmas and New Years. While I do miss having more time off, I do not miss the fact that as an adjunct, I was not paid for it. My fall semester pay would end in Dec and then I wouldn't get paid again until mid- to late-Feb.

My break from teaching will last longer. From now on, the plan is to teach only in the Fall semester.

What part of the US are you in?

About a third of the way up B.C. in Canada. We don't get that much snow, but this time last year we were hitting -30 C. Now we're just below freezing. We're about 3500 ft. Now that I've retired it just seemed appropriate to move a little closer to God.

I’ll making a slow-roasted red sauce with meatballs for dinner, so I’ve got that going.

We too, are cozying up for the day.

Today’s cold tonic:
8 oz hot water
1 earl grey tea bag
A splash of OJ
A squeeze of honey
1.5 oz Irish whiskey

@JonA_CT doesn't look bad with a few modifications.

Today’s cold tonic:
8 ice cubes
3 fingers of Irish whiskey

Well, my friend is doing pretty well all things considered. He recognized me and was in good spirits. However, he kept waiting for his wife to show up and said she was coming for lunch. That would be a miracle. I am going to pick him up for church tomorrow, hopefully that will go well. His son in law and wife showed up and they were good with me taking him to church tomorrow. It was a little awkward but all went well.

Rain forecast here for the next three days. Wife is fixing up a big pot of soup with some vegetables we picked up at the farm last night.

Nice work JC on taking a look after your friend.

The temperature on the back porch says 49. But the sun has removed all indications of snow or frost. Dave feels a Rum and Coke is possible.
