There seems to be no record of snow falling in this town. There have been a few times over the last couple centuries that the surrounding hills got enough of a dusting to be seen from town. I got a weather alert yesterday that the overnight low might hit 29⁰F in part of the county. I seriously doubt it got that cold in town. And yes, for this town 29⁰F would qualify as extreme weather.

There's been a rock festival across the street from me for the last several days. Dozens of vendors selling rocks, and jewelry and decorations featuring rocks. But no rock music.

My guess: hope just turned invisible, or maybe incorporeal, in a manner that made it look like she went through the wall.

NP Comic for Tuesday, Jan 14, 2025

Hmm... Grace is genre savvy... -
Now I'm contemplating a schoolteacher running a Math Rocks day in class... (My half-brother's arithmetic skills went from "4th grade on a good day" to 10th grade in about three months, when he got into D&D in 8th grade.)

And why is this not standard procedure, nowadays? (assuming they can actually do it, rather than go through the motions and only maybe sorta do it)

What's also fun is watching people who DO know how to drive on snow and ice, because it's normal where they're from, trying to drive on snow & ice in places where it isn't normal. Because in places where ice is normal it probably usually is cold enough in winter for the stuff to freeze solid... but in places where it's not normal? Probably barely frozen, likely to melt a bit just under tire pressure. And it's that thin layer of water, on top of the extremely-smooth ice surface, that is super slick.

Probably less windy today than yesterday. Also, if you were melting snow/ice off the roof yesterday and today it's all gone, that would be another factor.

Yep, because the British government was - and is - creating pounds out of thin air so fast they drove the value of British money down relative to dang near everything else. And pretty much every other national government in the world treats their own currency the same way. Some at a higher rate than others. But most of the world has just accepted that money deteriorates in value at 2% to 5% per year.

Yeah, years ago in Seattle, coming out of a building after my daughter's dance performance, I heard a guy shout "Look! There's a snowflake! Close the city!" Well, the snowflake brought a bunch of its friends and relatives... and as the temp was just below freezing, a bunch of them melted on landing and then quickly re-froze... and the city was pretty much closed for the next couple days.

Actually, the given reason is why we mostly moved to silver and copper/bronze coins for day-to-day life. We moved to fiat currencies because there was enough silver for everyone except governments. The government of Rome was essentially bankrupt when a general named Julius invaded Gaul and took ownership of their silver mines. The British made farthing coins, worth 1/8 of a penny each, up until 1956.

The guy's demeanor in the opening of that reminded me of a bit of a story I read years, nay, decades ago. A supplier for a certain company had effed up, badly and inarguably, and the boss lady went off on the supplier's sales rep. Loudly and at some length. In her native language. After the sales rep had crawled under the door and out of the building, the workers went to the boss lady and asked, nervously, "what were you saying to him?" She smiled and said, "It was, um, I don't know in English. I'll bake some of it tonight and share it with you tomorrow."

A pedestal can be as confining as any other small space.
