When I got up this morning, it was -10 F (air temp, not wind chill). It finally made it to zero...just in time for the temps to fall. It’s going to be damn cold overnight. 🥶

Waiting for the National Religious Freedom Forum to start! Sadly I couldn’t attend in person in Minneapolis but at least they’re having a livestream on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/C9CoANimFJE

Why do so many sofas have so little back support? Nearly all of them are like sitting in a giant marshmallow that’s been warmed.

Well, someone will be coming on Friday to look at my bricked clothes dryer. Since that doesn’t necessarily mean fixing it during the same visit, I’m assuming I’ll need to go to the laundry mat this weekend. [...sigh...]

My clothes dryer basically decided to brick itself yesterday. It’s stuck on “clean filter” even though I’ve vacuumed everything including the ductwork. Thinking it might be the sensor. 😩

I have a sofa that I really need to replace but have kept putting off. I could replace the foam in the cushions and restuff the back pillow cushions, but that won’t change the fact that it’s too deep for someone of my height or that it has little lower back support (which I need). I’m thinking I should probably replace it before the turd becomes president.

Really don’t want to go outside to retrieve my garbage and recycling bins. With the wind, it’s maybe 4 degrees F out there, and I’m already feeling cold inside. Maybe I should make some hot chocolate...

I updated the poll to state miles, but that reset the poll.

How much range (miles) on one charge would an EV need to have to address your “range anxiety”?

When I was at Cub Foods this morning picking up a prescription, the person behind me told the pharmacist when it was her turn that she had COVID and couldn’t take anything due to her heart condition. She was not wearing a mask. Idiots like this are why I continue to wear a mask when I’m around people.

For those of you with a master's degree, how about sharing the title of your thesis or capstone. (Share the title with NO additional context, including what or where you studied...just the title).

I'm guessing we'll have a wonderful variety of disciplines and topics.

Svetlana Vold, a St. Paul firefighter born in Belarus, mobilized people across Minnesota to collect and deliver essential supplies to first responders in Ukraine. Since then, fire departments in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Eagan and Coon Rapids have gathered scores of equipment that could make a world of difference to first responders risking their lives overseas. https://www.startribune.com/twin-cities-fire-departments-deliver-life-saving-equipment-to-ukrainian-first-responders/601198889

A police officer for 30 years, Grant Snyder got to know a lot of people surviving on the margins of Minneapolis. He’d bring them meals and blankets and just talk. Word got around the chronically homeless community that beyond Snyder’s badge was a different kind of cop. In his last role as an MPD commander, Snyder also begrudgingly oversaw more than a dozen encampment closures. https://www.startribune.com/as-a-minneapolis-cop-he-closed-encampments-now-he-serves-meals-and-delivers-food-to-the-streets/601198762

Last week, the president of the small nonprofit where I work gave everyone today off with pay; we already have the 24th and 25th off. I had planned on working and therefore had no other plans. Since I was free and had no commitments, I decided to donation blood at a local blood drive.
