Can’t decide whether to believe the WX forecaster or not…?
‘Tis truly tricky this time of year. Supposedly old man Winter is half-way through his bag of tricks… but woe be to the one who – thinking his cap is unnecessary on such a lovely morning – goes out in the as yet dark dawn to find he should have worn his ‘wig-warmer’.
Today’s JUST A MINUTE deals with what I suspect is a load of bias – but having no concrete clue except that the lady lives with a female partner and neither has a husband although they are sharing the duties of raising a daughter – and the one in today’s spotlight is identified by other bloggers… not those of the NYT – as one who supports same sex marriage, wears a wedding band although there’s no discernable male in the limited view we have – and there’s no sense in tracking it down except to see if the writer has a ‘hidden’ bias on the subject.

(They still have room to grow… last count they were at something slightly over 1530 stores… two more due to open up soon) and holding to their operating philosophy. That’s encouraging.
What’s not encouraging is the publicity surrounding this NYT story that came out in the Jan 29th paper… and stirred up a needless tempest. I think The young Mr. Cathy who did the video on FB… was spot on handling the unnecessary tempest. We’ve got enough ‘bad’ news out of the Middle East without generating a foolish one from
Well… time to put out the light for writing this tonight… See you by next week when we’ll let
