So, here is a question:
Why is NBC "featuring" Snoop Dogg at the Olympics?
The bits he's in are not funny, they're annoying.
And, I think the athletes and people are embarrassed to be talking to him about stupid stuff.
What is the point?

Exotic Love, Martin Denny, 1968 Liberty Records

Nice to sit and relax to after chopping away at the snowbanks, so we can see to get out of the driveway.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Good Sunday morning!
It's finally stopped snowing and the sun is out!
It's also -13°F, so it's also a good day to stay in and watch the Olympics, have some coffee, and maybe listen to some records. 😉

If this is your first winter storm, remember four tips: 1. Fill up your tub and/or pots with water for your toilet. 2. Do not use propane heaters indoors. The fumes kill. 3. Everyone staying in one room consolidates warmth. 4. The Norwegian camp didn't destroy itself. One of you is the thing.
