Winter Weather 2026 - I Can Haz Cold Front?
Reporting from the wastelands of West Texas: It's 9F and breezy. The clouds look like they want to break up, though we just got some more flurries. Everything is covered in 2-3 inches of the frozen stuff. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Some translate our national motto, E Pluribus Unum, to mean several states coming together to make one nation, but my preference has always been many peoples coming together to make a new people.

I think it's supposed to hit for you guys overnight. Here, everything is frozen over under a crust of ice and snow.

Wasn't there a true crime mystery blog thingie about a murder and dirty cops in Manitowoc about 10-15 years ago?

Tell me about Texas Tech
We need a shake-my-damn-head reaction emoji, or maybe a facepalm one. That is so Odessa. Fun fact: my mom's first teaching job was at Ector, the year Kennedy was killed. She described it as a day filled with tears.

Tell me about Texas Tech
Pretty close. We didn't drop down to 4A until '86, my sophomore year. Before that, we had to play the likes of Lee, Permian, Abilene Cooper, and San Angelo Central. It was brutal being the smallest 5A in the state and being in THAT district in THAT era. I can say, though, my freshman year, we beat both Odessa High and Abilene High, getting both of their coaches fired for losing to Big Spring, which was nice. Gotta say though, Permian still sticks out to me as being the rudest piece of shit fans when we played at Ratliff my freshman year. Just, like, horrible people picking on a cripple, which is what we were.

Greenland
Well, he is a bit like The Penguin as a character study, but I doubt that's what they were going for. That little guy next to him also can't hold a flag without opposable thumbs, on top of being in the wrong hemisphere. So, yeah, the whole thing is lazy, stupid AI slop for the lazy, stupid masses.

Trump’s America
Not wearing a wedding band, which isn't really a surprise. But I do wonder if whatever affliction he has that causes the back of his hand to melt over his ring finger is the cause or a coincidence.

Andrews, Big Spring, Brownfield, Lamesa, Levelland. I'd say we're ready for district play!

Winter Weather 2026 - I Can Haz Cold Front?
Locally, we've now dipped below freezing. It's been raining (the liquid stuff) off and on all day, so I expect things to start getting nasty with the freezing stuff soon. The radar was all green until half an hour ago, and now it's showing all pink in the vicinity. I got all my supplies this morning, filled the bathtub with water just now, got the generator prepped, and am good to go until Tuesday at noon, when we're expected to thaw out. There's a steep hill getting out of the neighborhood, so I'm not planning to go anywhere if I can help it. If anyone needs anything, I'll likely be lurking about. Give me a holler.

I think he grew up in Abernathy, but there's also a Wichita Falls connection somewhere. Grew up down the road from you in Big Spring, myself, which isn't exactly a booming metropolis either.
