Thursday miscellanea #310

  • I saw snow in November. There wasn’t much, but it was definitely there. Wow. I don’t think that’s ever happened before. It’s hard to get good gas mileage in the cold.
  • Have you seen Guardians of the Galaxy? Want to text Groot? His number is 1-866-740-4531. He’d love to hear from you. Let him know what’s on your mind.
  • The CD player in the Technical Writing Express is acting up again. Did this once before, but fixed itself and stayed fixed for over a year. May have to replace it this time. I’ll just dip into my copious cash reserves. Ha!
  • The BoWilliams.com Facebook page has ten more days before it goes dark. I’ll be off Facebook altogether then.
  • If you followed me on Twitter, you’d get many wonderful things. Among them are my thoughts on automotive styling. Here is one example. Here is another. Also, you’d get many sexy food photos. Here is one example. Here is another.
  • Came home with a pound of turkey sausage from Bates this time. I cooked it Tuesday night for quesadillas. It’s fine, but not so good that we need to repeat the purchase.
  • I’m just torn up about Bill Cosby. I don’t know what to think. He’s never been convicted of a sex crime, but there certainly does seem to be a lot of smoke for there to be no fire. He’s been such a vigorous and thoughtful advocate for children and education—most all of his career—and he’s so funny. I fear my heart will end up broken to some degree.

  1. I’m with you on the Bill Cosby thing. He’s always been one of my favorite comedians, and I have admired his thoughtful commentary on social issues. I’m sadly marking this down as, “You never really know a person…”

    I had to drive up to TN yesterday and there’s a lot of snow in the western NC mountains. Pretty. I think we’re both going to see more of the white stuff this winter. I’ll take that over the ice we got here last spring. I love snow. It’s nature’s way of telling us to slow down and take a break.

    • I love snow how we have it at our respective latitudes, Cheryl. It’s uncommon and generally short-lived, so we don’t make any real effort to deal with it. We just pause until it goes away. I like that very much myself.

      I could never live anywhere that snow was around for weeks on end.
