I still don't quite get the concept of townships in PA. If anything needs done from anything like plowing, you can't contact your elected officials because they're never available. They never return calls to voicemail. Then when you finally get their landline phone number at home, they claim another township plows their roads. When you call that township, they claim they don't plow roads at all and rely on another township.
Same thing with other road maintenance. There's a stupid policy in PA where traffic light maintenance goes to the local municipality. So if a broken traffic light is in a township with 3 people, there's little chance that's going to get fixed.
They should get rid of townships and just have counties, so we don't have to rely on elected "volunteers".

Online Black Friday and Cyber Monday was a bust for many people in NW PA. Due to trucks wrecking on I-90 during the snowstorm, Amazon purchases have been sent back and refunded. Others have tracking statuses of "this item may have been lost". People are irritated as they have to reorder their items at non-sale prices.

I'm in a weird mood tonight. I keep listening to this song Mishkutinam(u). It's a good Inuu Québeçois country/rock/folk/pop song from 2023.

We all knew that a warmer summer and thus a warmer Lake Erie was going to make for quite the lake effect snowfall, but this is ridiculous.
Erie International Airport had 22.6" of snow officially, but pictures from across the area show an easy 3' (1m) of snow in 1 day. This event will rival Christmas 2017 for a snowfall event in NW PA and the Western Southern Tier of New York.
Luckily, I'm 50 miles away and haven't experienced any snow.

Well it's been a morning already. Woke up with a sinus headache due to a cold. While eating spicy ramen for breakfast, I sneezed and everything went thru my nose. It burns so bad. I'm still blowing cabbage out of my nostrils.

Everyone in PA: "Yay, it rained yesterday! Is the burn ban lifted?"
No.
"Let's burn our leaves."
Proceeds to catch the forest on fire.
Now half of PA is on fire again.
These people have never been out West, and it shows. 🤦

Wow, so many radio stations are going off the air. AM 860 in San Antonio changed formats to Bloomberg. AM 900 CHML in Hamilton went dark. AM 880 in New York City went dark. What a shame.
TuneIn doesn't have some of the FM stations that I listen to. Spotify just has way too many commercials anymore to continue listening.

A burn ban being issued does not constitute an emergency. Cell phones have been going off across the office today, lol.

2024 was the year I first voted using paper.
Haven't seen a paper ballot used for voting since the produce department of Albertsons in 1998.

Large language models have improved a lot in the past couple of years. They no longer output hilarious answers.
I asked it what the best fertilizer is for money trees to grow $100 bills; referencing the 1957 BBC documentary, where in Italy do they harvest the most spaghetti from trees; and what kind of meals pair well with boogers. It made true answers for every one of them.

Golden shower thoughts
When you have a frustrating problem, so you take a leak and clear your mind. While pissing, your thoughts develop a solution to the problem.
Do many people do this? I wonder if this before & after was featured as a puzzle on the Wheel of Fortune.
