68 Degrees?

It's January 6th, and Pennsylvania is still the Northern Hemisphere, right?

As I get ready to head out for some errands wearing a short sleeve shirt, the house windows open and what feels like an early summer breeze blowing through the place, I'll just link to Tammy's comments from the 18th of December.

Here in SE PA we generally don't have snow for Christmas, and we haven't even hit the point in the year where we would normally expect peak snowfalls, but what we have feels like late May.

A lousy night's sleep Friday into Saturday, today's weather has me wishing we had a hammock set up out back.

Time to get out into it. At least it's not raining and it'll mean another mild utility bill (we're electric everything here) coming up.

Grrr! Blogger ate my comment!!

As I was saying before I was so rudely usurped, H & I were out running pre-birthday party errands on Friday afternoon in short sleeves, without a jacket between us. It seems terribly, terribly wrong.

Sure, sure, I'm enjoying the reduced utility bills. Who wouldn't?

But hard to argue global warming when you're fanning yourself in January.

P.S. - It's been raining here for about 24 hours now. You may want to grab an umbrella. It's likely headed your way.

Already slowly clouding up here, we're expecting rain by about 9pm. It'll be heavy in waves overnight and through the morning tomorrow. It's about 20 degrees cooler today than yesterday, so we're back into jacket weather at least.

Time for another run out. Always errands...

Insurance Company-Driven Propaganda Storm It's almost heartening to see them go to these lengths - they're getting a little scared - though I worry how many wingnut media outlets will reference the report as if it's substantive..? ( From the Washington Post ) The Insurance Industry's Deceptive Report by Ezra Klein In the hallowed tradition of the tobacco and energy industries, the health insurance industry has commissioned a report (pdf) projecting doom and despair for those who seek to reform its business practices. The report was farmed out to the consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has something of a history with this sort of thing: In the early-'90s, the tobacco industry commissioned PWC to estimate the economic devastation that would result from a tax on tobacco. The report was later analyzed by the Arthur Andersen Economic Consulting group, which concluded that "the cumulative effect of PW’s methods … is to produce patently unreliable results.&qu

Oct.13-19 - More Returns and Changes

      Even though I've already watched the pair of debut episodes of Frasier (see next paragraph), and this week's Star Trek: Lower Decks (which continues to do a stellar job of mining  previous Trek series for character, episode and extraterrestrial culture lore and deftly applying them at breakneck speeds), I still have multiple things I'm looking forward to catching up on, including new eps of Gen V (Amazon Prime), Loki (Disney+), and both Archer and Welcome to Wrexham (both on Hulu), along with the first two episodes of a final six for Doom Patrol over on Max... and that's just off the top of my head, so getting this week's streaming post out of the way brings those one step closer for me.       I've watched the two episodes of the new Frasier series that arrived on Paramount+ this week, and while it was a mixed bag it was good to see the character back, with him attempting to move into his third act by returning to Boston, where we first met the ch

The Tease of Things I Don't Need

     The lure of things we don't need, could easily find greater needs to apply the cash to, and which we may not even have the space for, is a very First(ish) World Problem, to be sure.        HasLabs is a special projects division of Hasbro, that occasionally pitches large and/or elaborate items - oversized figures and/or vehicles - essentially crowdfunding each project. They set the price, and a funding line - the number of people who need to pledge to buy one (or more -- up to five) at the announced price, then collect the names and information of interested parties for a period of 45 days. Once the number of pledged buys hits the target, the project is greenlit.      A couple years ago there was a HasLabs special build project aiming to fund a production run for an oversized (32" tall), elaborately-articulated action figure of Marvel comics' Devourer of Worlds: Galactus. Back on July 18, 2021 I posted a piece on the project, which at the time was just two days
