Nothing exciting. Snow off and on -- even when the sun is shining, it's COLD.
Flu is still hanging on. I'll feel better for a day or two, then back to the usual. I often just want to sleep. But part of me is tired of staying home, and wants to go wander, as well.
The Brick got the tractor started. (But says it's still not running smoothly. He's put in hours of work on the bearings, refilling oil, etc. etc.) Our new mattress seems to be working out.
More working on reports. Watching documentaries. We just finished a season of Deep Wreck Mysteries -- fascinating. Here's a taste:
Gripe, moan, complain. (Shame.) There are truly times I feel this way:
Haunted stories (and mummies) from Mammoth Cave. Intriguing.
Ten cases of documented 'time slips.' Also intriguing.
Bones from Waterloo -- found in an attic. (Wait til you find out why no bodies have been unearthed on the Waterloo battlefield... gross.)
Nacho cheese 'Doritos' -- you make yourself! (From Strength and Sunshine)
Possible substitutes for eggs in cooking and baking.
Meals to make when there's 'nothing' in the house.
Frugal meals -- for when you feel broke! (From TupennysFireplace)
Tyre Nichols' mom hates that it was '5 black men who did this.' Mrs. Nichols, I hate that it was 5 men -- period.
Here we go again -- Masterpiece Cake Shop loses at the Colorado Court of Appeals.
"This case started the day the Supreme Court decided they were going to hear our case. It was a very busy, very crazy day at the shop," Phillips told Fox News exclusively in March. "In the middle of all of this chaos, we got a phone call from an attorney in Denver asking us to create a cake pink on the inside with blue icing on the outside."
I wonder if the timing was on purpose??
Weird stories of astronauts and their experiences. Not sure where to go on this...
The California Effect -- as viewed by Mr. Money Mustache.
Thinking about moving to the Virgin Islands? Here's a heads-up, from someone who did. (Actually, it sounds like a lovely place.)
Before-and-much-later photos of old places and nature spots. Fascinating.
Mystery of an ancient ship, found in the Russian permafrost, loaded with animal carcasses. But it doesn't fit the timeline...
Five things you may not know about the Challenger explosion. I remember this vividly...I saw it in the Daily Camera newsroom in Boulder.
The 'Palmwood Wreck:' a Dutch ship crammed with luxury items, including two gorgeous 17th century dresses! (Textile-lovers, be sure to take a look.)
How to stop feeling guilty about having money. (From the Financial Samurai)
Coffee cake -- in cookie form?
An effective shower cleaner -- from two ingredients!
The 'Jennifer Aniston salad' -- actually a kind of combined Cobb/tabbouleh version. Yum.
'Tavern sandwiches' -- another name for 'loose meat' sandwiches. Easy -- and frugal. (Frfom Little House Living)
The classic Kentucky Hot Brown -- and how to make it!
An early Van Dyck painting is found in a farm shed, covered with bird droppings. Hmmm....
A dozen classified documents are found at Mike Pence's home. Granted, he initiated the search. His lawyers gave the documents to the FBI. But still...
An easy way to copy the Big Mac's sauce -- three ingredients!
"Greens -- what could go wrong?" A closer look at green dyes by Barbara Brackman's Material Culture.
Answers to some quirky travel mysteries -- by the pilots involved in them. (Example: where do you store the body of a passenger who dies mid-flight?
Want to visit Croatia? Take a trip, thanks to Millenial Revolution.
I always enjoy what's happening to Kevin and Ruth on their blog, Travel with Kevin and Ruth. They just left Morocco for a stay in Mauritania.
Holocaust Memorial Day was last week. It's important not to forget these events...the people with the strongest memories are now in their 80s and 90s. Some memories here.
It's easy to get bogged down in the cold dreariness that is often January. (Having flu hasn't helped any, either.) But I also remember:
Have a good week.
