Yikes! Sunday is too far away. Maybe not Hawaii, but a hotel room?

Holy crap. They found the Lipinski Strad: [link]

Props to the Milwaukee police, I did not see that coming. (My sister believes Neil Caffrey must have been involved.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, Sox, is there any way to get into a hotel for a couple of nights?

Not nearly this severe, but my parents are having their (only) bathroom redone, and it's a good thing the tenant is friendly! They have a working toilet and sink, if no walls, but not a shower, so they came down yesterday to use mine. And since it seems like all that's happened this week is demo, I shudder to think how long it will actually take. Yikes.

ION, there is a team that apparently pulled an all-nighter here last night, and that is just wrong. I know that's how it goes some times in their area, but yikes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Our taxes have a habit of cancelling each other out, as in we owe to the state what the feds are refunding us or vice versa.

net zero is my goal. I have not even started on mine yet this year. I guess I should get on that.

So while we are getting unexpected snow, it looks like some of California is getting rain. Is it in a much needed area? It seems like the whole state needs it, yes?

The whole state needs it, so yeah.

We need more rain. It was a bit drizzly today. Want rain.

yeah, the map shows it all north, SF to San Jose to Fresno and headed south.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, we have actual rain today, with more forecast through the weekend. It'll help a little bit, especially crops currently in the field, but what we really need is snow up in the mountains to replenish the strategic water reserves for summer.

I want my tax refund, dammit. I get about $100 usually from state, but Federal is larger. Depending on what happens this week, it will either help me shore up my funds for big crazy house project (TM), or else pay off my car.
