Blog time 1010 at Panera

Another cold morning the temperature was 10 but wind chill below 0.  Up at 0615 and took Ms P out.  On these cold mornings she does not dilly dally.

Nancy headed to her Tuesday swim.  I did all my calisthenics at home.  After breakfast I walked to Panera.

This and that;

The Supreme Court decided to support, for now, POTUS’s ban on transgender troops.  Part of the reason is the high cost of gender change surgery.  I agree.  Also I strongly think that the Marines should not lower physical standards for combat troops.

I have not seen one movie up for an Oscar.

Bud Light is putting nutrition labels on its cans.  Craft beers are loaded with calories.  If they had to put labels on their cans sales would plummet.  Score one for Bud Light.

Disturbing info on the Twitter account that disseminated stories on the American Indian/white high school student confrontation.  The Twitter account was not owned by a CA teacher but originated in Brazil.  To its credit Twitter shut the account down.

Blog resumes at 1745 sitting in living room watching three deer eating corn.

Walked home from Panera into a strong east wind.  At home I did a 10 minute row.  Showered and then lunch.

It started to snow about 1300.  Despite the temperature being 27 the snow soon changed to rain.

Ran errands this afternoon.  First stop was Walmart to buy shoe polish.  Next picked up prescription at Meijer’s.  Final stop was Dick’s Sporting Good, nothing purchased.

At home prepared our apple snack. Finished the afternoon with a nap.

Normally we have the same two deer visit the corn.  Today a third deer intruded.  After some time a fight started.  Deer fight by standing on their two rear legs and kicking with the front legs.  The intruder was driven off.  Nancy and I watched the fight and were enthralled.

About midnight I got up and looked out the window.  The two deer had returned to finish the corn.  The visibility is really enhanced with snow on the ground.

For dinner Nancy fixed chili.  It was great, perfect for a winter’s eve.

This evening no NCIS so we watched an episode of Vera.  It was 27 when I went out at 2200 with a rain/snow mix.
