Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my friends and enemies!  How are you?  How do you like this chilly weather?  We've had snow and temps in the teens - winter is here, early.  Let's hope that climate change keeps it a mild one.

How about those fires in California.  It's literally hell on earth.  They're blaming the drought on climate change.  It's made the landscape a tinder box, ready to burn on a moment's notice.

Hey der, how about dem Packers?  They finally won one.  They claim to be all tired and injured, but I think that's smoke for their upcoming game with the Seatle Seahawks.  (Psst, what is a seahawk?)  Seatle is struggling, too, so the game may be interesting.  I'm picking the Packers in this one.

Here's the standings from the Irregular Football League:

My Screaming Psychics have clinched a playoff spot.  I'm right behind The Mighty Bears.  Mr. OrbsCorbs' Orbliterators are in the toilet.  Ha-ha!

Have you been following the strange case of Sandy Weidner?  Judge Eugene Gasurgrghbrregiwk has sealed her open redords case.  He's sealed everything about it, even the court dates and times at first.  Numerous organizations have filed suit.  Meanwhile, the judge has found her guillty of contempt of court and fined her $130,000.  But he suspended imposition of the ruling until the appeal is heard first.  Huh?

How about that "blue wave" in the last election?  Tonu Evers won the governor's spot and already the opposition is talking about how they're not going to co-operate with him.  Our fine government at work.  The guy hasn't even been sworn in yet and already he faces stiff opposition.  Whatever we do, we cannot work together.  We must stay bitter and angry at each other.  Always.

Donald Trump is blaming the raging fires in California on poor forestry practices.  Again, huh?  The damn drought has made everything drier than dry.  There's always some idiot tossing a cigarette butt out of his window.  I can't imagine the loss.  Complete cities flattened by the fires.  So many people who have lost everything.  You can feel it in the force.  A satellite has snapped a picture of the smoke.   The best we can do is pray for those people.

Looks like the "holiday season" is already here.  Christmas trees are going up.  Lights are being strung.  Thankfully, I haven't heard any Christmas music yet.  The later, the better.  And, of course, we have Black Friday coming up.   Black Friday is an ode to consumerism.  The ultimate shopping day.  Be sure to wear your shoulder pads and helmet for this one.  Or maybe a Kevlar vest would be better.  Heck, wear both.

Thank you my friends for reading my blog this week.  I love you all. madamezoltar@jtirregulars.com

Enjoy the sunshine.   Bundle up for the cold.  The word is wind.
