Here’s another view from the porch after Winter Storm Fern.

Winter Storm Fern did not disappoint. Here’s a view from our porch with one overachieving neighbor’s driveway already cleared.
Americans, watch the videos. Believe your eyes.
YOUR PRESIDENT IS LYING TO YOU!
YOUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS LYING TO YOU!
Get up! Stand up! Get involved! Will it be dangerous? Absolutely, but if you continue to sit on the sidelines, you are complicit just like all of the Germans that watched their neighbors kill millions without doing a damn thing to stop it.
Now is the time!
Trump’s SS has murdered another person in Minneapolis in front of all of our eyes. The news media will say a person was “shot”, and the SS will lie about what actually happened just like the first time even though there was crystal clear video, but let’s all use the correct language. This was a murder, plain and simple.
Let that sink in.
This didn’t stop in LA, it didn’t stop in DC, it didn’t stop in Chicago, and it won’t stop in Minneapolis.
We have two choices, Americans. We can either fight back ourselves or we can demand that the people we elected to serve and protect us actually serve and protect us. I think all of us would prefer the latter but have been taught all of our lives that the former is required and expected when necessary.
The only question now is deciding when to give up on our elected leaders. I think we’re right on the verge.
I have been very impressed with the software in our Volvo, but one of my frustrations is that Volvo’s implementation of AAOS in our model does not support Apple Music. My hope is that this announcement foreshadows a future software update for other Volvo models to make Apple Music available in Google Play.
And while I’m asking Volvo for things, throw in the MLB and Audacy apps and make the SiriusXM app capable of playing internet stations and podcasts in addition to the satellite stations. Easy peasy.

Sometimes it just takes a picture to tell a story. What do you think the investment world thinks about Trump’s insane push for Greenland and the war (trade or otherwise) that it will cause?
Now would be an excellent time for Congress and the Supreme Court to apply some checks and balances on the Executive Branch.
Republicans and Democrats are trying to contain Trump’s Greenland aggression. Will it be enough?
The Chicago Bears gave us a season to remember even though they came up short to the goal of winning the Super Bowl. We witnessed a year of improbable individual and team plays, and we almost ran out of fingers to count the number of fourth quarter comebacks for wins.
I’ve already equated the 2025 Bears season to the 2015 Cubs season, and that’s high praise and hopes for what will be a championship year for the Bears next year. We have a quarterback who believes he can do anything, and that kind of attitude is contagious.
Bear Down!
The Bears came up short, but Caleb Williams wowed the NFL again
