Winter's Coming, Time To Snuggle In

  1. White pelicans have been passing through here on their way from Canada to their winter abode. We had a cold front pass through that blew away the dirty air trapped by a low inversion layer. Turning on the heater a bit now and again.

  2. Started Foyle's War yesterday. So nice when the Nazis get shot or locked up instead of getting elected President.

  3. I have been hearing Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul calling to me for at least a week, since another rather thick book became uninteresting part-way through...

    1. I continue listening to my body to further develop my exercise regimen...not everything I try works well, but over the past year I have made a great deal of progress, regaining lost freedom of motion and reducing pain.

    2. The books recommended highly! Thanks for mentioning them. I should reread, though they must now take their place in line behind Bernie's book.

  4. The juries quickly came back with guilty verdicts in two DUI (alcohol) murder (four counts and one count) cases in which I testified this past week. Murder (rather than vehicular homicide) prosecutions in such cases are definitely becoming more common hereabouts. The common factors are prior DUI's, traffic school, and warnings by the previous judge(s) that if the defendant drank, drove, and killed someone, s/he could face murder charges that the defendant said on the record s/he understood.

    1. Holy Mother of God! Gym shoes? What a terrible waste of young lives, both the victim and the killer, whose life will now be blighted and distorted. Over gym shoes!

  7. I see that Bernie gave a speech about a dozen miles from where I live. But I've been too busy to read political email.

    And in other news, Trump has settle the lawsuits against his "university."

    1. I've heard of that series. Keep meaning to try them. Glad you're enjoying them, Puddle. I'll have to make an effort to find them.
