Hello, my frosted flakes!
How are you? We actually had a
dusting of the s-word the other night. I
don’t know if that was considered measurable precipitation, but I know we were
approaching a record for the number of days without the s-word. By the way, I have had nothing to do with the
ongoing drought. As much as I hate the
s-word, I wouldn’t mess with the natural order of things. Mother Nature wouldn’t allow me to do it, anyway.
Last Sunday, our sterling Green Bay Packers once again
trounced their foe, the Detroit Lions.
This Sunday, December 16, they meet their archrivals, the Chicago Bears,
at noon in Soldier Field. Packer – Bear games are always hard fought
battles. May the Packers be the
hardest.
The news is filled with Fiscal Cliff this and Fiscal Cliff
that. It is incessant, almost as bad as
Christmas songs. Between the two, I’d
choose the songs. The failure of our
representatives to compromise on anything is disheartening and
dispiriting. I am tired of listening to
the rhetoric over and over. Bone
tired. Politicians should keep their
dirty games out of the holiday season. I
am ashamed of the things that ‘my representatives’ do. Tis the season to be jolly. Let the politicians go to hell. This is the
time for peace on earth and goodwill toward men. Let us rejoice. Let us love.
Let us pray.
Driving west on Washington Avenue
in uptown, I noticed that traffic was constricted to one lane by barricades,
but I couldn’t see why. A story in the
Journal Times explained that the façade of one of the buildings had pulled away
and they feared for falling debris on pedestrians and vehicles. Mr. Mayor Dickert says that the city is going
to tear down the building posthaste. I
am afraid that we will be doing a lot of that.
They recently razed the fire-gutted building on the near north side of Douglas
Avenue. As
more and more buildings are deserted, more will be torn down. Oh my.
Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? Are you one of those who has your gifts
wrapped up by September? Or do you wait till
the last minute, getting a rush from the commotion of all the other hurried
shoppers? Internet shopper or brick and
mortar? Personally, I have most of mine
done, but there’s still a few items. I
like to wait until after Black Friday to do my shopping. I bought a couple of things online, but I
prefer to shop in person. I like the
hustle and the bustle of the crowds to a degree, but I won’t frantically fight
for the last sale item. It’s not worth
troubling myself over a few dollars.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you, my sweets and sours, for perusing my blog
today. I much appreciate your
presence. Without you, this wouldn’t
work. Without you, there’s no
point. Without you, there’s no me.

The days continue to get darker and colder, but some people
say it’s really going to heat up on December 21. Bundle up, keep warm, and don’t let Jack
Frost nip your nose. Seriously, I heard
he has herpes. Molysomophobia!

I'm looking forward to the Packers opening a can of Whip-ass on the the Bears this weekendd.
Thank you Mdme. Zoltar for for sharing your insite with your JTIrr's family.
I too like the shopping season Madame. Most of the people I've encountered have been kind and one shared a coupon with me.
Thanks Madame for sharing.
Mme. Z, Dickert beat you to it. He announced a "stabilization plan" for uptown. He's going to hire a consultant to come up with the plan for him. Dickert will stop at no expense of public funds to get his job done for him. He created a "Ten Year Plan" for the entire city. Why can't he put together this plan?
