Our Week of Arctic Cold is upon us

Yes it is cold outside! It was 9 below zero this morning and 5 below yesterday morning. Its been warming into the low to mid teens for daytime highs, it's 16 outside right now. Since its been so cold the past three days Stacy said they needed to be movie days.
No arguments from me!
The four hour version of "Dances with Wolves" yesterday and "3:10 to Yuma" Sunday. From Netflix, "Live Free or Die Hard" on Saturday. Also catching up on some programing recorded the last couple of weeks on the DVD recorder/hard drive we have from RCA.
Its been mostly clear with no new snow predicted until the weekend. The local paper said the official, so far, total is 65 inches of snow. There are spots on our place with almost 4 feet deep sections.
As I'd said in the last update, Stacy is very happy about the 'karma' of having her new job start on the same date as her last one. Now Laura has told us that her badge number is number 71 which was Stacy's radio call number in the county. So karma there too we hope! So far Laura likes what she's starting. She apparently has more varied experience than most of the others at that agency and they're expecting a lot from her. We know she'll impress them!
Guess this will be a short one today, I've got to go driving in about an hour. A driver slipped and feel on the ice and might have a fractured rib so I've got a "gig" all week. I was asked this morning how I liked the weather here comparing it to California. Well, this is our second winter and for that we still like it over the desert of Calif. But I also said very truthfully that I enjoy it a whole lot more from inside looking out at it!!!!
Type to you all later, Tad.

Karma can be a wonderful thing. Glad to hear everyone is doing well and attempting to stay warm in the extreme cold. We too had a cold spell these past couple of days. It actually got down in the low 20's last night..LOL.. a tropical heatwave compared to you two. Take care, stay warm and give my best to the rest of the family.

Your little brother,

A Historic Day

Yes, one way or the other it will be a historic day today, Election Day in the USA, 2016. Either the "crooked" lifetime politician and first woman to be the president will win or the proven somewhat unstable "megalomaniac" and itching to start a war businessman will win. Personally, I voted for Clinton. A proven lifetime politician outweighs the alternative in my opinion. I heard a comment of with Clinton it will be "The Hunger Games" part one, with Trump it would be "The Hunger Games" part 2!! In our neck of the woods, early voting and absentee voting has been going on for over two months. We voted a couple of weeks ago. Above, in the lobby of the County Courthouse, four early voting stations had been set up for several weeks. 2 non the right and 2 on the left at the desk behind that sign. Below, I took a 'stealth' photo of some people voting. You never can tell in North Idaho what will set off people so I didn't want...

I Must Agree, 2020 Is The Year That Isn't.

 I know there are many, many people feeling along those lines.  Luckily, our area has yet to experience a large spike. Even in this rural area, the virus has made it here too. As mentioned before, most of the state cases are in the heavily populated south end of the state but there is still a count of over 38,000 positive and 451-deaths in the state.  As of this post, there has been one confirmed death of a 70-year old male, and there are currently 56-cases in this county. The most recent cases are high school sports students as schools opened on September 8th and at the last minute decided to go back to all 'in-person' classes even with all the preparations of having 'hybrid' classes of 2-days a week at school, 2-days a week online, and rotating to keep the student count down to the advised numbers to limit exposure. Our area schools are all on a 4-day week and have been for many years.  However, with those kids, are also over 65 other students who were identified w...

Soupy Sales and memories of being a kid

I first heard about Soupy Sales dieing this morning as I listened to the 60's on 6 as I was working on breakfast and getting my lunch ready to go for work. His show was often very funny, even more so as I grew up and had a better understanding of his more adult humor. I know I was seeing reruns of his old show even back then, 1970's era, but they were new to me! As I was reading on the Entertainment Weekly website about his death they had clips from You Tube to see. Boy the memories, of his as well as all the shows I remember seeing back in the mid 1960's and on. Pookie, White Fang, funny. I never cared much for the 'pie in the face' gag, but still overall funny shows. Growing up in the areas of San Bernardino, Highland and Redlands California, we watched the channels from the "greater Los Angeles area". I recall Captain Kangaroo on channel 2, Hobo Kelly on either 11 or 13, Sheriff John's Lunch Brigade ("put another candle on the birthday cake, th...
