Hello, my still-stuffed pilgrims! How are you?
It looks like the cold is here to stay.
Mumble, grumble, gripe, and groan.
It’s time to put on my winter face, which consists mostly of a
frown. I betcha we get another crazy,
cold winter. Let’s go for the record,
whatever it is. More ice, cold,
snow. We can do it!
At least there’s good news in Packerland. Last week, the Green Bay Packers took down
the New England Patriots. Next up is the
Atlanta Falcons on Monday, December 8, 7:30 PM
at Lambeau Field. Pulverize them, Pack.
In the Irregular Football League, we’re already into our
quarterfinals. The Screaming Psychics
still have a fighting chance. I predict
that we’ll come from behind and be the champions.
The hustle and bustle of this time of year can get on the
nerves of some people. Personally, I’ve
already had it with Christmas music wherever I go. And it seems that wherever I go, I invariably
hear “Jingle Bell Rock” by one of a half dozen different artists. It is embedded into my mind for the rest of
the month, I know. My brain will be mush
by the New Year.
I’ve been out shopping a couple of times, and the crowds were
generally well behaved. As I understand
it, by opening on Thanksgiving night, most of the rowdies were gone by Black
Friday. Yes, you still get the occasional
elbow in the gut, or someone steps on your toes, but it’s not like Armageddon.
Now there’s an answer to the burning question, “Do people
just forget how to drive on snow?” - http://www.thenorthwestern.com/story/news/local/2014/11/29/people-just-forget-drive-snow/19666759/
The answer is being provided by UW-Whitewater psychology professor David
Havas. The answer? Yup. I watch this happen every year and just shake
my head.
They say that driverless cars will take care of all of our driving
needs. I know that Google and some
automakers are conducting tests on driverless cars. They sound spooky to me. I think that artificial driving is still well
in our future. The skills are too
complex for a machine to master (for now).
I think it’d be neat to hop into my driverless car and say, “Milwaukee,”
while I read the newspaper, watch TV, work online, whatever.
That’s it for this week, my loving dears. Keep your eyes peeled for icy spots. Slow down around school buses. Bask in the radiance of the season.

Madame Z I feel the same way about the cold weather but mother nature has something nasty in store for us and she must love the cold weather.
Good luck with the fantasy football playoffs.
You think you have it bad? In really warm, dry climates, people forget how to drive when it is CLOUDY!
the song I can't see me escape is "let it snow, let it snow, let is snow", Just just chant an angry NO . Cold, ok. Snow, unless I'm off work and able to hibernate, NO
Hello Madame, just checking in very late. Hang in there... it will be nearing 100 degrees and deathly humidity soon. Time is out of whack. It is zooming by.
