We're About To Get Cold

 We call it cold, but for many it's nothing. Temperatures are forecast to dip into the mid twenties at night starting Sunday night, and lows for the next few days afterwards about the same. Highs should be in the forties, which means freezing temperatures will only last for a few hours. 

So far this year, we've only had two nights where the temperature just made it down to 32 degrees. Most night have been in the forties, fifties and sixties. Daytime highs have been in the fifties up to the low eighties. It's been a blessing since heating, and cooling, don't require much electricity, which keeps the bill down. 

So far, this has been a mild, although wet Winter. The ground is saturated, and the mostly dreary weather hasn't allowed much drying. A wet Spring may bring some flooding we don't need. Time will tell, and regardless, there isn't anything I can do about it.

Waiting To See

It's a new year, and about to be a new administration to confiscate hard earned money run the United States. I don't have  a lot of confidence in things dramatically changing. Unless courts ignore obvious efforts to cause problems, chastise ambulance chasers, expedite proceedings to clear dockets, and place those in contempt in jail, things really won't change. Too many attorneys occupy positions that the separation of powers should forbid, but they really don't care much about laws, unless they find they can't bend them to their needs. Most problems only require easy solutions, but when you bring the courts into the fray, there are no solutions, just more problems.
