Until the Chinese builds one that dwarfs it.

But I'm not counting Musk out yet.  By time the Chinese do that, Musk will be on to something bigger.

You do not have a cooling problem in space.

Girlfriend and I met another couple for lunch, the first time the three of them meeting.

Inevitably, the other woman asked how we met.

I could feel my girlfriend staring at me as if I'd grown a horn in my forehead as I began explaining, "Well, we're both from Massachusetts. I was a village elder, she was an old maid. I burned her at the stake in 1692. Staring at me through the flames she swore revenge in a future life and, well? Here we are."

I thought my buddy was gonna' spit iced tea through his nose.

Denton (north of Dallas/Fart Worth) had rain followed by sleet yesterday.   Snow started this morning.

Wx will break with the sun on Monday, but driving will not be great until Tuesday.

I lived in Ohio for 6 years, so this is easy. 

I enjoy driving in the snow.  Ice is not enjoyable, but doable.

Federal judges will be lining up with arms full of injunctions.  Sit back and watch the libs defend Maduro.

Which flags will there be more of next week, Somali or Venezuela?

Rules for Buying Gifts for Men

Rule #1: When in doubt - buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet to complain. As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. No one knows why.

Rule #2: If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words. "Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "OK. By-the-way, are you through with my 3/8-inch socket yet?" Again, no one knows why.

Rule #3: If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car. A 99-cent ice scraper, a small bottle of de-icer or something to hang from his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows why.

Rule #4: You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn out. If you have a lot of money buy your man a big-screen TV with the little picture in the corner. Watch him go wild as he flips, and flips, and flips.

Rule #5: Buy men label makers. They are almost as good as cordless drills. Within a couple of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. "Socks. Shorts. Cups. Saucers. Door. Lock. Sink." You get the idea. No one knows why.

Rule #6: Never buy a man anything that says "some assembly required" on the box. It will ruin his Special Day and he will always have parts left over.

Rule #7: Men enjoy danger. That's why they never cook-but they will barbecue. Get him a monster barbecue with a 100-pound propane tank. Tell him the gas line leaks. "Oh the thrill! The challenge! Who wants a hamburger?"

Rule #8: Men love chainsaws. Never, ever, buy a man you love a chainsaw. If you don't know why-please refer to Rule #5 and what happens when he gets a label maker.

Rule #9: It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum extension ladder. Never buy a real man a step ladder. It must be an extension ladder. No one knows why.

Rule #10: Rope. Men love rope. It takes us back to our cowboy origins, or at least The Boy Scouts. Nothing says love like a hundred feet of 3/8" manila rope. No one knows why.

They are not frozen, so they can still make the 'cut' off time. 

The 'dead' line can still be made.

Do chargebacks to all the hospitals. 

Convict the 'scientists' and hang them. 

'W' being pronounced 'double U' is thanks to the men and women of our armed forces kicking ass in 2 world wars.
