The sky was particularly colorful this Thursday evening.

I wanted to share the look of East Texas at 5:55 pm.

Some blue, some peach color. You know damn well what's coming!

Just to be clear, I didn't vote for Biden in 2020 and I won't be voting for him in 2024.
But I hate partisan bullsh*t a lot more.

Unemployment

How do we help?

Eric Johnson has been a local Seattle reporter for a long time. A few days ago, he published a story about a young woman named Lexi. The story is called: called 'Who killed Lexi Evanson? A woman's life lost too soon to Seattle's drug crisis'.

Johnson had known Lexi for all her short, 35 year old life. She was part of his extended family, danced at his wedding when she was a cute little girl. She had a pretty tough life and became addicted to heroin. She had two loves in her life since then - her dog, Lucy (which was stolen from her) and heroin (she switched to fentanyl after a while because it's cheaper). She died of acute meningitis which she got from an ear infection which spread to her brain. She was found dead, upside down with her head near the brake pedal of a stolen car in December.

Lexi and her dog Lucy a few years ago: from the article above.

It's been too long. Biden news!

The headline article in tonight's Evening Blues is that Biden, Israel’s accomplice in Gaza, pretends to be a bystander. Echoing Aaron Mate is Jeremy Scahill: "Joe Biden Wants You to Believe He Is Opposed to Genocide in Gaza."

Ice storm predicted for today. Up to an inch thick. Have studs, will can travel, but will stay off the roads.
Had some brutally cold weather since last Friday. Temperatures dropped to 12° Saturday morning and the daytime temperatures have hovered around 20° ever since. Currently 19° and the freezing rain is due around noon.
