Another icy winter storm headed our way tonight, possibly threatening the already unstable Texas power grid. At least it's not going to be nearly as cold as it was last night -- 9F when I got up this morning. We had one pipe freeze but it seems to have resolved itself without damage.

And notice who is in the ditch. The friggin' truck driver. The one who thinks, "I'll just put this in 4 wheel drive and blow by everyone driving reasonably and cautiously, and I will do it with a lot of arrogant attitude."

I see if every winter.  The boulevard of broken pick up trucks.

We had a sh*t ton of snow and my gutter chose this moment to fill up with freezing water, which makes it very heavy.  So guess what?  It was trying to pull away from the house. 

Gutter companies who could fix this safely were swamped, so, my old diseased ass went up a slick ladder, balanced on 11 inches of snow with tea kettles, (multiple tea kettles) of boiling water) to get the ice out before the whole shebang came down bringing half my roof with it. 

Needless to say, I'm sure there were numerous neighbors with camera phones trained on the numbnutz climbing her ladder with boiling water just waiting for that viral video when I fell, boiling my face off.

Today, I drove by a neighbor who had made a huge snowman.  He was big and decked out.  He had on a hat, and scarf and gloves and was holding an umbrella and had very fancy big buttons down his front.  It made me smile.

So, I came home and wrote a note that said, "Thank you for the snowman.  I don't know his name but I call him Phillip.  He made me smile.  I hope you are well."  I then put that in a gallon ziploc bag, rolled it up like a parchment and got a wide, red ribbon and tied it up and then I drove up the street, jumped out of my car and tied it to Phillip's mittened hand.  I then ran back to my car before someone shot me and came home.

I hope I gave them a smile in return.

I wonder what the difference would be between a New Zealand sex pit and an Ireland sex pit.

There's a joke here kids.  Write it.
