other dog

Pretty sure we'll lose power at some point, because while the snow estimates keep going down they're still calling for a lot of ice. So I brought a couple of 5 gallon buckets in to fill with water and while I was filling the first one all the dogs fled to Zina's office because they thought they were about to get a dog bath 🤣 And I saw perhaps the cutest weather girl I've ever seen on TV, she's uncommonly pretty.

You're absolutely right, she's paid up until Tuesday anyway, I'm sure I can find something for her to do even if it doesn't snow😃

They started out saying "expect 21 inches or more" then it was 14", now the TV says 4-8". Maybe by Sunday they'll say "never mind" and I won't even need the snow removal expert that I hired to be on standby when I was in Winfall the other day.

😲 Wow! I'm not a heat tolerant person. I might not like the snow and ice, especially when I had to drive in it, but I can deal with the cold a lot better than the heat😳

I might have gotten snacks for nothing, looks like Virginia's in the clear. At least I had a good excuse to go to the Winfall Supermarket, it's always an enjoyable trip.

Looks like we might be getting the big one Sunday so I went to the Winfall Supermarket this morning to get some snacks, just in case...

But wait, there's more- 📛DEMOCRATS' BAD BILLS📛 We're now one week into the 2026 legislative session. Here's just a small sampling of the terrible, dangerous legislation Democrats have introduced... ❌HB 863 - abolishing mandatory minimums for manslaughter, rape, sexual assault, distributing child pornography, and other heinous crimes ❌HB 1 - job-killing minimum wage hike ❌HB 217 - total ban on many popular firearms ❌SB 19 - forcing schools to keep explicit content on library shelves & denying parents the right to know ❌SB 32 - repeal of Right to Work, costing Virginians $1,200/year in union dues ❌HB 5 - mandatory paid sick leave, paid for by Virginia workers - TAX INCREASE ❌HB 243 - corporate welfare tax - TAX INCREASE ❌SB 2 - paid family leave - TAX INCREASE ❌SB 66 - new sales tax - TAX INCREASE ❌HB 968 - ban on hand-counting ballots, direct assault on election integrity ❌HB 164 - unlimited taxpayer subsidization of housing for government employees ❌HB 900 - new tax on every delivery from Amazon & other retailers - TAX INCREASE ❌HB 1070 - prohibiting prosecutors from mentioning relevant prior convictions in jury trials - cutting breaks to repeat violent offenders ❌HB 979 - two new income tax brackets - TAX INCREASE ❌HB 969 - another gun grab, direct attack on Second Amendment ❌HB 773 - extends absentee ballot receipt deadline, directly undermines election integrity ❌HB 1179 - new car tax ❌HB 162 - public financing of political campaigns ❌HB 244 - weaker sentencing for robbery ❌HB 61 - active racial discrimination in government contracting ... and MUCH more. Democrats promised common-sense and affordability, but instead they're delivering radical left-wing policies that are bad for families and bad for Virginia.

Yes, that's it. I've seen that picture before.

I'd knock off another $1,000 for you, for gas on the way home.

About what I expected. I voted for Winsome Earle-Sears, but northern VA. runs the entire state of Virginia. JUST IN🚨: Virginians are SHOCKED that "moderate" Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger's new agenda is pushing Virginia leftward with a wave of tax hikes, gun restrictions, and progressive policies. Here's what's on the table under unified Democrat control: • New 4.3% sales tax on deliveries like Uber Eats & Amazon • New sales taxes on admissions to events & businesses • Higher income tax brackets: 8% & 10% on incomes over $600K, plus a new 10% bracket over $1M • 3.8% investment income tax on top of existing state taxes • Increased hotel taxes • New personal property tax on landscaping equipment • Ban on gas-powered leaf blowers • Guaranteeing free in-state tuition for illegal immigrants • Buffer zones making it illegal to approach people near abortion clinics • Extending absentee ballot receipt to 3 days after Election Day • Allowing internet/online voting • Expanding ranked-choice voting statewide • Extending ballot curing deadline to 1 week post-election • Redacting candidates' home addresses from public FOIA requests • Joining the National Popular Vote Compact (bypassing Electoral College) • Banning hand counts of ballots • $500 excise tax on firearm suppressors • Ban on "assault weapons" & high-capacity magazines • 11% sales tax on all guns & ammo • Prohibiting shooting firearms outdoors on properties under 5 acres • Lowering penalties for robbery & other crimes • Banning arrests of illegal immigrants in courthouses • Eliminating more mandatory minimum sentences • Allowing localities to install speed cameras for revenue • Replacing Columbus Day with "Indigenous Peoples Day" Virginians voted for a "pragmatic moderate" — but this looks like a full progressive wishlist. 😳 What happened to affordability?

Sounds simple enough.

Yeah, I did have her too except she had blond hair. Mrs. Smith, English teacher, total bitch. English teachers were the worst for me, I had a couple of them that I just couldn't seem to get along with.

Not to be changing the subject, because we just don't do that here, but- You ever see those stories about some high school teacher having an affair with her students? The teacher is always a smoking hot 26 year old, and when I was in school, many years ago, smoking hot 26 year old teachers must not have been invented because all of my teachers looked like this-

Me either.

Hey Tim!..and all.
