Got about four inches of sneau today. Neighborhood kids will be disappointed though as it’s all powder. No snowmen or snowball fights.

That's a nice covered bridge. Wife and I love visiting the Sach's covered bridge near Gettysburg.

That bridge leads to a cabin in the woods.
You may ask, does it lead away from a cabin in the woods? No. It does not, no. Posted by: BurtTC at December 01, 2025 07:35 PM (z1j+k) 10

Very nice high dynamic range photo at the top.
Either that or they darkened the clouds in pshop. But I'm 90% it's HDR, and done very well at that. Posted by: SpeakingOf at December 01, 2025 07:35 PM (6ydKt) 12
You know how the Angel ended up on top of the Christmas tree don't you?
Santa had the worst day imaginable: the elves were on strike, the reindeer were sick, Mrs. Claus was nagging, and half the toys were broken. He was in a foul mood, stomping around the house cursing. Just then there’s a knock at the door. He yanks it open and there stands a little angel, cheerfully dragging a big Christmas tree behind her. The angel smiles brightly and says, “Merry Christmas, Santa! Where do you want me to put this tree?” Santa glares at her and snaps: “Why don’t you shove it up your ass?!” …And that, children, is how the angel ended up on top of the Christmas tree.

Willowed:
Burt, I do not think you can say that David French's wife is 'cheating' on him. Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at December 01, 2025 07:34 PM (zZu0s) I believe there are marriages, and then there are people who had ceremonies where they exchanged rings, that are not, indeed, marriages. His would be one of those. Also, he fits no definition of "right wing" that would make any sense anymore. Posted by: BurtTC at December 01, 2025 07:37 PM (8YzGs) 14
I've never had a dog pose for the camera.
The closest I've gotten is one laying on the couch and staring at me. Most look at you like you're stupid and try to lick the lens, while you say "Sit." over and over. Posted by: SpeakingOf at December 01, 2025 07:37 PM (6ydKt) 15

Posted by: AlaBAMA at December 01, 2025 07:39 PM (Ud7de) He's probably got a story, at the Battle of the Bulge, where German troops were trying to lure the Americans out of their relative safety, but leaving leaflets saying there was hot food and coffee, free of snow, just a few clicks to the northwest. The GI's knew it was a trick, because they spelled it snough. Posted by: BurtTC at December 01, 2025 07:43 PM (GjxrJ) 34

When I was a kid we always put that aluminum tinsel the tree, piles of it. We were also in a house with a new nylon carpet, the kind where if you scuff your tennis shoes on it you can build up a charge and shock people with your finger. (We did that constantly to each other, and to a poor dog who wasn’t happy about it at all)
So when the Christmas Tree was up and covered with tinsel you could scuff your tennis shoes and stand about 2 feet away all that tinsel would go horizontal and wave in the air at you. It was Cool. (Unless you actually touched the tinsel and then you’d get a bright blue spark with a big CRACK! for your troubles) Posted by: Tom Servo at December 01, 2025 07:52 PM (3U2FH) 74

In the small town of Newton Falls, OH there is a covered bridge, one of only a few in the state still open for everyday traffic. In the mid 80s, the town suffered a really bad tornado. The tornado came close to it, but the bridge was totally undamaged. Also, there were a couple busloads of kids heading for a roller rink. The buses had weather alert and sought shelter. The roller rink was leveled minutes later.

In the 60's , myself along with three of my four brothers including my father sold Christmas trees. We also sole tinsel and ornaments. My mother had a very nice collection of beautiful ornaments. She also has a set of bubble lights that had colored water that would bubble when they heated up. Our tree was magical as all of Christmas was back then. ( know it is improper to begin a sentence with a prepesitional phrase. shh dont tell Sister Dorothy)
FYI I've seen referenced here in the past: German glass ornaments are a type of Christmas , decoration that originated in the German town of Lauscha in the 16th century. They are traditionally made of blown glass and come in a variety of shapes and colors. Today, German glass ornaments are still made in Lauscha and are highly sought after by collectors.

That red cat in the Xmas tree looks much like my late red tabby part-Coon, Arizona. Fortunately he never tried climbing into the Xmas trees we had from '83 to '85. By his second year he weighed twelve pounds, and by the third, fourteen.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at December 01, 2025 08:24 PM (wzUl9) You misspelled orange. None of my cats ever showed an interest in the Christmas tree, other than getting under it, and if an ornament was hanging too low... No tree this year. Maybe never again. Posted by: BurtTC at December 01, 2025 08:29 PM (nvRZF) 191
We had a snow episode here just before Xmas in '89. I got home and let Arizona out into the little enclosed "patio" where we lived, to see how he'd handle it. He padded calmly around, turning up his nose to the flakes. I got cold before he did and ushered him back inside.

Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at December 01, 2025 08:30 PM (UFCEZ) There were rumors this weekend that he'd escaped to Brazil, Iran or China. But I just read an article where he's been spotted in Caracas for the first time in four days. Maduro, who usually appears on Venezuelan television multiple times a week, had not been seen in public since Wednesday – when he posted a video of himself driving around Caracas on his Telegram channel – leading to intense speculation as to his whereabouts. On Sunday, he appeared at an annual specialty-coffee awards event in eastern Caracas. At the end of the event, he chanted that Venezuela is “indestructible, untouchable, unbeatable” while speaking about the nation’s economy.

"Dexedrine" -
Brave AI: In the 1950s, "mini thin pills" commonly referred to amphetamine-based diet pills, which were widely prescribed and used for weight loss, particularly among women. These pills, such as Dexedrine, were marketed to help women achieve a slim figure and were often promoted as a solution to the societal pressure of maintaining a perfect, thin appearance. Amphetamines were readily available and prescribed to help women lose weight and manage the stress of their domestic roles. I guess the Black Beauties came later.

Posted by: Kindltot - dredging up some German out of the Scheldt estuary at December 01, 2025 08:49 PM (rbvCR) Well, there's some sort of a system. The first character indicates Province. Alberta is all "T*** ***". B.C. is "V". And if the last digit is zero, I think that denotes a P.O. box. I do know they are a PITA to type, alternating between cap letters and numerals. And consequently harder to memorize. "ABC 123" is a lot easier to remember than "A1B 2C3". Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 01, 2025 09:05 PM (npFr7) 274

Awhile back, I went to Hot Springs AR to try a mineral bath for the arthritis. The place was very good about the cleaning, even showing it in progress to customers. Pretty expensive, but it worked about as good as any old hot bath. I suppose if you did it daily for a long time you would get results.

The M-19 was part of the drug network, off and on, depending and it is not like lots of others were also involved, and currently the ELN (those who took the amnesty and reneged or just didn't bother, or joined since) are involved in cross-border transport of black market goods including cocaine into Venezuela and during a non-Petro administration were funded in part by Maduro to continue the revolution against Colombia.

I asked why, then, Trump signed the order to release all of the files. Silence. These are people that are horrible, but they don't want to fix their own issues so they find the latest object of hate and go all in. If the noise in their heads ever quieted, they would hate themselves, so they can't have that. Same story with all the supposedly racist events, which are all hoaxes.
