Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015
I’m not saying we’ve had a lot of snow over the last couple of days, but this is what my snowbrush looks like after clearing my car today.
Not to worry. I found a new/old snowbrush on our garage floor, where many of our possessions go to die or be found and used after being abandoned for years.
But then there’s this snow-related problem I can’t, or I should correctly say that I’m not allowed to, resolve.

It was nothing I worried about … until now. My body temperature has been dropping. The “experts” write that it’s normal.
For the full “scientific” article from Stanford “Medicine,” link HERE. For those of you reading in distant, faraway, backward nations like Wakanda and Atlantis that still use the antiquated Celsius temperature scale, the Stanford “doctor’s” “research” shows the normal body temp has dropped from 37C to 36.6C. Well, welcome to my world.
For a while now, my body temperature has been trending lower. It was not unusual for my temperature to register 97.1F/36.2C. Maybe that’s why I didn’t notice a fever when I had COVID.

In Celsius, it was around -12 or -13, which seems even colder to me. However, in Kelvin it was a balmy 260. I want to live in a Kelvin world NOW.
Anyhoo, we got plenty of support, but there were the usual middle fingers thrown our way and “Let’s go, Brandon” yells. Hey buddy, Brandon won. But the oddest comment was someone who yelled that democracy leads to communism. Is that the latest “logic” from Fox News?
