My Local FOX Affiliate Chose To Omit President Trump Addressing The Nation Today On The Subjects Of Immigration And The .gov Shutdown.

I wonder how it was with other networks in other parts of the country today. I would imagine this silence was a concerted effort to torpedo the POTUS. I hope Chuck Schumer saw the speech and I hope he cried. With that said and if you missed it, here it is.




There is a need

Madame Sphincter....
























Coffee + Web Surfing + Abandoned Russian Tanks = New Music Find.



     Morning All :)

I'm sitting here drinking my Joe and surfing the sidebar as I wait for to start prepping for 

Snowmaggedon 2019!!  

 One of the stops was over to Kenny's and this IMAGE caught my eye. It's just after the boobs.

 In one of the comments, Miles Long , noted that the tanks are on Shikotan Island.

 Scroll down in the comments and click on Miles Long's link to an article about the tanks.

  Being inquisitive, I searched for things about the island and the tanks  .

One video that I watched was this one just below. I sipped coffee, hit play and the soundtrack

music started (around the 10 second mark)... "damn" I thought to my self, 

that's some nice guitar work. Suddenly, abandonded tanks were off the list

and music took the lead.





Now I had to go track that song down.

"Siri?.. What song is this?" I asked ( Ain't modern technology great!!)




Siri replied.....



Okay, cool, Siri found it... Now off to Youtube and a search for Bertysolo!!






and another............


 

I can see this might lead down a rabbit hole of music......

Anyway, one of the other sites that I also happened upon was this one:


 " Behind Closed Doors Urbex"  

You can get lost spending time searching that site for sure!





Now back to reality,


It's a beautiful and sunny morning here which I know is the "Calm before the storm".


9:30am......



We are in the 6" to 12" range of snow that is forecast for tonight. This season, up to now, has

basically been snow free in our area. There's no trace of any snow at all, as you can see above.

More coffee is brewing and the last few preps need to be done. I already have plenty of bread 

and milk and beer of course. :) 


New England winters are what they are and for years and years I have had the privilege

of shoveling, snowblowing and plowing . As I get older, any storm that requires me to pull out 

the snowblower, feels like this :




Once I'm done though, I do enjoy the snow and winter.

 ( As long as the power stays on ).
