Glad to see we are back up. Thanks again to Kosh for his efforts on our behalf.

Here in beeyootiful Kaintuckee we are looking at persistent snow- about 2"- on the ground, and temps low enough to break 125 year old records. Our high yesterday was 31 while normal would be about 57. Nightime actual lows are hitting mid-teens with wind chills in single digits. I am not looking forward to the next couple electric bills!

It's 24° here right now. I have errands to run and I'm dreading leaving the house.

Some car models have letter/number names, like the Jaguar XKE and the Aston Martin DB5.

It seems to me that Volkswagen missed a bet by not bringing out a special-model Beetle 6T4.  Of course, since the Beetle was pretty low-powered, anyone who bought one would be putting the McCartney before the horsepower.

And it's sunny, so a definite improvement over yesterday.

Does the King County prosecutor want to decriminalize heroin?

Does the King County Prosecutor want to decriminalize heroin?

Many believe Dan Satterberg is moving in that direction after he admittedly asked police departments last year to not send his office cases for prosecution where a suspect was in possession of one gram or less of heroin. Officers on the street tell KOMO News the defacto limit is closer to five grams.

Satterburg has made it no secret that he wants to take a harm reduction approach when dealing with suspects who are also addicts, believing incarceration does not work. He’s not alone.

Talk with liberal co-worker this morning. He want's Trump impeached.

"On what charge", I asked.

"That's what the hearing is for to find out." was his response.

"So law enforcement should be able to investigate you until they find a crime?"

"This is different!"

If they can do that to a sitting president, who couldn’t they do it to?

How is it that people think this kind of stuff could never touch them?

"I'm under enormous pressure from many, many, many voices in my head to think about it," she said. She went on, elaborating on all the voices that echo inside her head all day long. "There's Bob---he's nice. And Carl, he's a swell guy, very supportive. Then there's this voice that sounds like Christopher Walken. He's kind of a jerk sometimes, but even he's on board with me running again."

Heh.  

I still recall (and it may even be true, who knows) that the very first commercial aired after the end of the very last episode of the TV miniseries "The Holocaust" was for... Volkswagen.  This always struck me as rather bad timing. 

And as far as automobile names, I still believe that Chevrolet should come out with a budget-priced (and corresponding low-HP) version of the Chevy Volt; go retro with the body design, basing it on the old Dodge Crusader; and call it the Deus Low-Volt.

And of course there's my idea that the maker of my current car should come out with a special edition dedicated to America's war heroes, the Audi Murphy... 

(But given their nationality, they might be resistant to the idea)

Not to worry -- Trump will be hanged, drawn, and quartered tomorrow and newly-appointed president-for-life Clinton will bring her back and name her Grand Logothete.  Or something like that.

Well, she got onto a plane and she flew way out to the Middle East now
Spilling infidel blood as she pleased and with hummus on which to feast now
But with Islamic State caving she's got a real craving to be released now
She wants to come home, home, home 'cause she lacks a T-bird with which to play...

Bolivia has a new interim (but disputed) President, and she's kinda hot.
