I'm not a news junkie. Old folk watch the news all day. I don't follow the weather all that closely. There's always a family member or co-worker who does and they're like the bearer of bad news. "Snow incoming. We're going to get hit Sunday into Monday." You get to hate that person. The plumbers did a really good and professional job under our porch. New smart water meter installed. New pipe insulation, electrical socket and electric tape. No more frozen pipes to worry about. BTW whatever happened to the global warming?
Did my own taxes again and sent them in. I think my math is close but I don't have a perfect knowledge. I always make a good faith attempt but next year an accountant. When you stop to think about it the only reason most of us have to file in the first place is because our employers don't take out the right amount. When somebody fails to file by Aptil 15 we commonly say he or she didn't pay their taxes. Not true they've been paying taxes all along just failed to file. Wouldn't it be a great thing if Trump and the Congress somehow came up with a way of doing away with the requirement to file? I'm sure there's approaches they could take. Put it on the table. Does anyone talk about thus?
I'm a little perturbed lately. Taxes, frozen pipes and rescheduling vet appointments because of the weather. Can't wait for Spring and cutting that first blade of grass. Should I get a hammock?
Minimum you should get a medal that reads 'Survived Winter of 2025-6'

Not over yet. Act Two coming up.
ReplyDeleteUsually around this time of year I've taken most of the cats to the vet for their yearly inspections. Now due to weather events or the recent frozen water meter I've only taken one out of the five. Way behind the cat schedule. Gotta stock up on Fancy Feast today for Blizzard '26.
ReplyDeleteSupposed to be a rough Blizzard. Nutten new, huh? I would think that for a half dozen or so ferals needing check-ups, the Vet would make a house call? Dr. Galaxy would (and have a snow shovel in his violin case). Good Luck, sounds fierce.
ReplyDeleteNo polar vortex this time though. Temps hit low 40s mid-week. Meanwhile the City of Yonkers is cracking down on dog poop.
ReplyDeleteThey say a "bomb cyclone". Dorothy would grab Toto and head for the cellar.
ReplyDeleteNew weather lingo I never heard growing up. Million dollar meteorologists.
ReplyDeleteThe ferals are counting on you.
