The Great Southern Blizzard of 2025 seems to be over. It’s quit snowing even if there’s still snow on the ground. Instead of hot chocolate, thirst goes back to mint juleps. I got somewhat of a feeling of winter by turning my AC down low. Brrr!
It’s a gray, gloomy, windy day with 85% chance of rain. This morning’s temp was 56°F with a Saturday low predicted at 49°F. I might have to break out the long johns.
There’s a lot to do today. I have some debris in the pool to be removed, I need to clean off the kitchen table that seems to catch everything, and then clean the house. Tonight is movie night and I want the house clean for Tucker. He inspects every inch when he comes in. It’s Chris’ turn to select the movie but Tucker will go with anything as long as he gets treats.
I still haven’t called Viet Nam Vets for a pickup. I keep thinking there are some other things that I can add to the pile. I’m in a clearing out mode this year. Too much junk!
I also haven’t done anything with my books to donate. I found out the Wilton Manors Library will take some of them but I haven’t tried anywhere else. As of now, they are stacked against the wall in the vestibule. If I leave them there long enough, maybe they’ll begin to resemble part of the decor. They’ll be much easier to dust that way.
I’ve read recently where the magnetic North Pole is shifting. None of the articles mention that it has happened numerous times over the existence of the earth. They also erroneously stated that scientists have no idea why. I was taught it had to do with the magma flow in the mantle of the earth. I can understand why editors go with the sensational headlines to get readers but it’s getting out of hand.
I saw an Instagram post of a giant tsunami wave washing away a town. It was posted as “just happening” but you could tell the video had been generated by AI. One of the websites I frequent had a contest to pick out real photos and AI generated photos. For some, it was quite impossible. For the others, you had to study the photo carefully to determine it was AI generated. Maybe AI can make me handsome?
Stay tuned!
