And the furnace quit and it’s winter. Also, middle of the night. Grumble, grumble, grumble.

According to the adverts on XTwitter: everyday clothing in The Western World is now a T-shirt with either a corporate, sports, band logo or some pithy saying and trousers of some sort. (Please, for the love of Bob, DO wear trousers or a skirt in public.) This is now the Mao Suit of the West.

So over on XElon, lots of women are suddenly following me. Funny, I never had that happen in real life.

I sometimes wonder, if the circumstances were right, would Microsoft get back into the smartphone operating system market again?

It seems wrong that for most of the world we only have two smartphone OS’s: Android and iOS.

I there a way to turn off all posting from your Micro.blog blog to the MB social timeline?

Looks in refrigerator - supper will somehow include hot dogs.

I thought things would never get weirder than the late 1960’s and most of the 1970’s. I was wrong.

Due to popular demand - Me - Frozen Pizza Friday will, once again, be observed today. That is all.

This does not surprise me. It confirms what I already suspected.

On one of my social timelines a guy regularly posts old automobile ads which I enjoy a lot. Strange thing is, I’m actually starting to miss AMC (American Motors Corporation.)

I just heard Apple Vision Pro starts at US $3,500. I got this bridge, in Brooklyn, that I can sell you for such a deal.

I just stocked up on food essentials - again. Snow tonight, maybe. Snow tomorrow with high winds, maybe. 4 inches tonight, 4 inches tomorrow, could be more, could be less, could be none, maybe. Despite all the maybes having enough food supplies is the only civilized thing to do. :-)

My current problem with writing long form blog posts is fear of repeating myself. If I don’t have enough new things to say on a subject there is no sense in yammering on and on about it.

The problem with being stuck indoors for days on end by the weather is that one starts wanting to blog and other mischief.

Can you dine in a restaurant while wearing Apple Vision Pro and not get soup and everything else down the front of your shirt?

This morning the temperature is -3 degrees Fahrenheit (-19 C), and dropping. Windy too. I think I’ll just stay indoors, thankyouverymuch.

Perfect timing: my watch battery dies right when a snow/ice/wind/subzero cold storm moves in so I don’t want to drive around or even go out.

Just my opinion, but cars made today all look the same. Boring.

I think this is partly because cars are not being designed for customers, they are being designed for government regulations. That’s not all bad, but there is a difference.

Maybe that’s why nobody gets excited when new models come out.

“Our Enemies Will Vanish”, by Yaroslav Trofimov sounds like a good book. I just ordered it.

New Tears Eve supper will be a frozen pizza! I bought a fancier pizza than I usually get because it’s a holiday. That’s it. Can’t have too much fun on one night.

2024 Big Important Things Wish List

  1. The US should start phasing in bans on single use plastics.
  2. We need to supply weapons to Ukraine and quit the incrementalism that keeps Ukraine from striking Russia.
  3. A serious passenger rail for the US. Quit building new highways and repair what we got.
