Life in the temperate zone...

Very well may have been Shiva the Destroyer. Good luck with that one. Bane of Temperate Wood Nymphs.

Very underdressed for this cold spell too.
 
Ok so I found this super nice young lady out here in my woods. Wood Nymphs were slaughtered everywhere.

What exactly have you done Jeff?

Just one of those standard compact with the devil sort of things, lots of fine print and signing in blood, blah blah yada yada legal crap. I'll have my attorney down at Beelzebub, Mephisto and Krampus Law Offices look it all over tomorrow.

We only got an inch of snow, here. How did you Far North dog-sled-in-the-garage types make out?
 
Half inch but super windy and wicked cold.

Damian at that law firm got me out of a particularly sticky hotel damage lawsuit. Real salt of the earth kinda guy once you got past his burning match BO thing he has going on.

Here is the Christmas card he sent us.

Had to pay through the nose to cover his retainer and fees though. Such is life I guess.
 
Hey, I've spent the last few days removing some of the most gnarly, twisted Mulberry trees you ever saw out of corn fields. Literally. A couple were right out in the middle, growing up through old well pump shacks. Great firewood, but out in the open like that, they stay short (maybe 25' tall) and you couldn't throw a coin through the canopy if your life depended on it. A stem weighing several hundred pounds will stand there without moving with a 1/4" thick hinge. That's been handy, actually, because it's also been very windy. I just cut a facecut, backcut in to a thin hinge, and stand around at a safe distance for a few minutes while the wind brings it down.

Now, it's raining like hell and I won't be able to get back into those fields until they dry up. That's alright, I have a bunch of electronic test gear I'm refurbishing (cheap on feeBay) to pass the time. I have several jars of Asian pears the wife canned up last year. I have to force myself not to eat more than one quart jar of them in a single night, on account of that whole "too much fruit" thing doing very unpredictable things to your ability to make it to the bathroom in time.
 
As does the carnitas with salsa fuego I just enjoyed at happy hour with work boys.
My biscuits will be burning tomorrow.

You guys having tornadoes recently? We're WAY above the averages so far this year.
 
The sirens keep going off, but the tornados just haven't been touching down. I did see on the news where it's been a big deal elsewhere, though. Overall, the last few years they have been getting quite frequent. Luckily, the Trumpster has been slashing EPA regs so we can slow those things down with gigatons of coal hydrocarbons. More resistance for that spinning motion. When we get the atmosphere as thick as oatmeal, the tornados won't be able to spin, at all. It's pure genius, I tell you.
 
Folks were out walking around our neighborhood and looked at me like I had a potato for a head when I warned them about getting to shelter. It was if I was inconveniencing them with such bad news.

Maybe the air sirens going off and the emergency alerts going off on their phones was simply fake news.
