Brrr, it's cold -- but sunny! We got just a few inches, while the mountains we see from the deck got a lot. The flu is still hanging on. But so are we.
Meanwhile:
'Who was someone who helped you out financially?' Another gem from Donna Freedman. She's been quiet in recent months, but is active again. Thankfully.
Denver area thrift and consignment stores. (Sorry, non-Coloradoans, you'll have to skip this one.)
Turns out ESPN has been scamming for Emmys -- for more than ten years! They admitted it and apologized. Whoa, that's consequences for ya...
The guy who lived for 6 months -- in a shopping mall. Secret confession: I fantasized about doing this, a la From The Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.
Plus: a squatter bishop!
A 'you are there' video, as a trooper saves a drowning 8-year-old. Amazing. (Thank God.)

Chocolate chip cookies -- from the microwave in less than 5 min. And they're good, too. A classic from yours truly.
Tudor-time wall paintings, rediscovered at a college in Cambridge.
A pre-Revolutionary War fort, and many artifacts -- hidden behind the walls of a West Virginia home. WOW.
Captain Ahab, where are you?? The 'world's rarest whale' (yes, it's white) is filmed -- for only the second time. Actually, there were a pair.
How to make your own pattern, from clothes you already have. An oldie-but-goodie from Sweet Verbena.
Dr. Fauci's interview behind closed doors in Congress -- maybe some mistakes were made, he admitted. (Really?!?)
"Dr. Fauci’s transcribed interview revealed systemic failures in our public health system and shed light on serious procedural concerns with our public health authority," wrote Wenstrup, a physician of over 30 years.
"It is clear that dissenting opinions were often not considered or suppressed completely. Should a future pandemic arise, America’s response must be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data."
Five interesting thrift store 'flips' in the art market.
Strange facts about celebrities...while they were alive, and after they were dead.
Overly frugal may get you less mileage, than otherwise. (From the Financial Samurai)
Another look at plagiarism, from a blogger who's experienced it -- over and over and OVER. (Thanks, Financial Samurai, for sharing your viewpoint.)

They're all fakes! The sad discovery of JEH MacDonald's 'Tangled Garden' series by a Vancouver art gallery.
Some very well-known economists got their predictions wrong for 2023 -- big-time. (Although they're being pretty quiet about it now.)

Have a good week. Stay healthy.
