It is a frosty 29°F here, up from 23° when I first got up. Frosty and cloudy; that is not the norm.
You all have a good day.

I was juiced last night, and I didn't hit any home runs so, it doesn't work. Least not for me anyways.Anybody seen anything on this? Some say "juiced" balls were used in Yankee games (Judge's hr record chase).
Study claims MLB used three different baseballs in 2022 after its admission two were used in 2021
MLB said it would have a "more consistent baseball" in 2022, but a new study has shown that a third ball was introduced just one season after the league admitted using two in 2021.www.foxnews.com
Nice. Below is the tree we had in our Passport office of Ft. Sill. Main passport agent is also a UK fan. Even found some passport ornaments from the local Hobby Lobby that fit right in.One of these:

Can't anyone just do what they say they are going to do? All a man has is his word but I guess that is now for sale, I hope not to most people. Geez, even baseball... Not just roids now it seems.
Coming Friday to an ATX near you.
Thursday nights forecast for us here is supposed to get down to 2°. Will start dropping Wednesday early afternoon and fall throughout the night. A friend just called me about 30 minutes ago asking if I could help him move out of his apartment Wednesday because his rent went from $685.00 earlier this year to $800.00 back in June and is now going up to $925.00 the first of the year. Thanks Joe. Anyways, I hope he starts early because the wind is also supposed come out of the north and be 25-35mph with higher gusts.Coming Friday to an ATX near you.
My phone is crapping out. Ye Ole LG Velvet... Nearly EXACTLY two years. Almost overnight the battery won't hold a charge for about five hours... Gyroscope is whacky using Google maps, ...yadda yadda yadda...
Just ordered My Darling an iPhone 14 plus....
I need an Android... Any decent recommendations? I have T Mobile the senior plan but I don't want to buy part of the company when I buy the phone...
My work phone is an iPhone.... Thanks for any input...
Those thousand dollar phones they can have, looking for cheap and good.... Yeah, good an cheap.,
Will work for a cheaper phone bill. I have a sign and everything...😁

Dang. Just checked the weather forecast through Christmas -- chance of snow Friday, and if we get a covering it just might stay around. Lows predicted at 12 F and highs at 22 F.
Been a while since a white Christmas, as far as i can remember. That'd be nice.

If I never see a snowflake again it will be too soon. I had a lady (fellow employee) in San Antonio when I was at Fort Sam get fighting angry when I wouldn't turn around to look at some snowflakes. (I saw it was bothering her so I fought the urge to turnaround.) (My desk faced the interior of the room.) The lady was ready to file a complaint against me (And we always got along splendidly but I guess I rubbed her mad spot.) She got angry like I never saw her act in nearly six years of working around her at the time. (I knew she must have been having some trouble at home but at that point I was really trying to help her once I realized it was something besides me.)
She got a couple other people involved as witnesses to what she called a confrontational attitude.
It got to the point I had to defuse it. I looked at her with about six or seven other people standing in my office. (It was confrontational after the initial contact.)
I said yeah Mary (Her name was Mary.) I can see it now at the hearing.
They will ask the charge; I stated; "It will be a charge of failing to look at a snowflake." (I winked at her as soon as I said it and she threw a paper at me and then hugged me laughing.)
BB, you might need some EggNog - don't spare the rum.
And you DEFINITELY need some Elvis...
Eggnog? Who drinks Eggnog?
Traditional no alcohol or alcohol.
I don't mind the stuff under the right circumstances -- and my wife really likes it and it gets her into the Holiday Spirit in a major way -- and definitely alcoholic. She's Irish.
I enjoy the festive spirit so Ky Bourbon. I like it plain too. I just like it. We got some this weekend and will keep it around until 2023. Not the same bottle but when we run out it will be replenished. Ah, so good.
But remember I am a strange bird. I had a mess of fried chicken livers tonight for supper. And a bunch of green beans with ham pieces. Strange bird
ME!!! Yes to the RUM!!! A heckuv a drink. I use the 100 proof rum. (Doesn't take as much to get where I want to go...) Now ask me how long it's been since I had one... (Heck may be a resolution...
)
Sir, I did not see your post! 😍 (Until now...)
Circumstance??? Heck, waking up might be enough of a "circumstance"... 😁
This will change your mind about eggnog. They sell it at Fresh Market in a tub of ice.

Doesn't change my mind. I'd drink it anywho....
MAN I cannot STAND looking for a phone! Let me try Walmart.com, Amazon, heck, ebay!
BB, I have a Velvet via T Mobile also. Not quite two years. Close out special though I didn’t know LG was going out of phone business till several months later. Never have really liked it. Also too long for good pocket fit.
DW, DS, and somewhat techie good friend all have Pixel 6 and are happy with them. Little smaller than Velvet, but new Pixel 7 is a bit smaller still. Leaning to 7 when I get fed up enough with Velvet.

The latest fad for that last minute Christmas gift.
I made some egg nog a few years back. Not bad.I'm another one who likes eggnog.

That stuff'll kill you.... need some cleanser...add some 100 proof cleanser....
I don't like regular milk. I drink skim only. Occasionally 2% if nothing else is available but, whole milk is too thick for me so, Eggnog is a no go, too rich.
But of course.Did you drink it?
Good morning from ATX. Currently 47°F and foggy. Today's high may reach 53°F. Meh, we'll take it.
Huge spate of US mail robbery happening around ATX. Thieves stealing checks, packages, gift cards, you name it. Crazy.
Seems like UK football heading in right direction. What about basketball?
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

We go to the Columbia Restaurant often. (oldest and probably largest Spanish Restuarant in America) and they make it right at your table and serve it in a Sangria pitcher
Ingredients
- 1 orange
- 1 lime 1
- 375 ml bottle of Sangre de Toro wine (or any other red Rioja wine)
- 1 ounce Torres 5 brandy (or substitute any Spanish brandy)
- Splash of lemon-lime soda
- Cherries for garnish
- Simple Syrup Recipe
- To make simple syrup, combine one part water to one part sugar in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Chill before use.
Good Morning
57° with winds NE at 6 mph, sun is peaking out and will soon rise. We have clear skies now but the clouds will roll in off of the Gulf and by this afternoon we have a 77% chance of rain. Probably an inch and a half or two inches. Not much. Our high will peak at 66° .
I talked to the folks in Kentucky and they are bracing for some cold weather up there. May get below zero by Christmas. That should be against the law. I am much too soft for weather like that and no way I could make it from day to day living like that. Mercy be.
I trust all are well and staying warm. And if you heat your house with fossil fuels I hope your budget covers the bill. Folks way up North especially. They voted for this mess so I guess things happen that way.
My wife loves that kind of weather. My Blue Kentucky Girl

Good morning D-League. Getting colder in the east. And we’re into the year’s darkest days. Would be gloomy except there are lots of Christmas lights around my neighborhood.
I’ve resumed my morning walks. Just a mile for now, but I feel I can do more soon.
Beautiful sliver of moon this morning as the first light of day appears over our woods. Very serene.
Hope you all have a great day.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!! Great to hear MdW....
Heading inside now...All have a great day!
Great news, you are on your feet. One mile at a time.
Pretty fast recovery. When can your wife start back or has she already?
Speaking of dark days, I believe tomorrow is supposed to be the shortest day of the year (winter solstice) so, days will start to slowly lighten back up.
Thanks for asking after me BB, Sawnee and Warrior.
I’ve been surprised by how good I feel. My physical therapist took me out for a walk yesterday so I figured if she thought it was okay, then I was good to go. Got more than 3,000 steps in this morning. No significant swelling. I do have bruising on my hip but I’m told by the PT that’s normal and not to worry.
Things just went right for me I guess, at least so far. Blessed.
My wife is back to work with that “boot” she has to wear. She may be in more discomfort overall than I am, but she’s getting around fine.
The past week has played out better than I thought it would.
