Coldageddon ’24 continues
Very humorous residents along my drive toward Round Rock in recent days. The upside is it will be mostly over tomorrow as we crack 0° C in the late morning. Then we will have a little setback through the weekend … Continue reading
Other than the usual cat dustups, we’re managing the cold
The cartoon above is true any type of day, namely with Agamemnon and Isis, the two who cuddle the most. Not sure what goes through their tiny little brains. Experts say it’s alpha shit. I think it’s them being dumb. … Continue reading
A couple, local, tough customers
To celebrate Caturday this week, here are two cats who live near my house. I often see members of their “colony” around a neighbor’s house but given the super, super cold weather, I didn’t bother trying to pet them. I … Continue reading
Well this is some Groundhog’s Day gift!
Nobody was harmed, especially the house. We did hear it snap and fall. I wish it were a juniper tree, those are the real cause of “cedar fever.” When I got some time, I took my chainsaw to it so … Continue reading
Freezageddon ’22! Final Day
Not bad for a Christmas Day, especially when compared to three others I readily recall in their horribleness via cold snaps and two were also in the southern portion of the US. The record holder remains 1993 because my grandmother’s … Continue reading
Freezageddon ’22! Day Three
Things are looking up today, namely the temperature! Thanks to the Sun coming out, we will return to 0° C by noon, ending the cold snap temporarily. By sunset, we dip again but it’s practically over tomorrow, Christmas Day! How … Continue reading
Freezageddon ’22! Day Two
Of all the times we’ve been “snowed in” or had a cold snap, this is the first one I recall the temperature will not get above freezing in over 24 hours since 1983 and I was further south in Houston. … Continue reading
Freezageddon ’22!
It’s that time again in Austin/Central Texas! The stores will be depleted of bottled water (the preferred brand in the city is Topo Chico), white bread, milk and toilet paper in fear of the temperature getting well below freezing, we’re … Continue reading
Late Fall/Early Winter has come to Austin
Several days ago we had a thunderstorm roll in and the temperature here hasn’t recovered. Good thing we hit the Renaissance Faire a weekend earlier! Then we just experienced what would be Fall. Now we’re in Late Fall or standard … Continue reading
Fall ’22 has arrived!
For Austin, it means we’ll only be somewhat, unbearably hot. Nah! I will never trade it in for Midwestern Winters and I say it’s practice for being accustomed to the world being that horrific +3-4° C higher than it used … Continue reading
Aftermath of the tornado from last night
The blue line is where the government is sending drones to inspect the damage but the tornado(es) didn’t necessarily touch down. I’ll probably see some of it tomorrow when I got drive north to Round Rock to get my weekly … Continue reading
So much for concrete being a heat sink against tornadoes
I was going to write about some trivial bullshit which can wait until tomorrow or later because we just had an F2 touch down about two miles north of my house, around 6:30 PM CDT US. Pretty frightening as you … Continue reading
Some levity to counter yesterday and Snowmageddon ’22
At least the free square this year isn’t our two bigger assholes, Alex Jones and Joe Rogan.
How to save your parking space, Chicago Style
We did have some freezing rain and sleet this Snowmageddon but nothing serious as last year. The roads did ice over which required some caution. I knew I needed to drive carefully, slowly and with greater effort. I wish the … Continue reading
Aggie and Isis are preparing for the upcoming cold snap
There’s a really comfy blanket in the box which is why Agamemnon prefers to sleep in it. Isis uses him as her electric blanket but only when she thinks nobody is around to go, “Ohhhh! How cute! I want to … Continue reading
