December 1

Welcome to December. We have rain and a fair amount of it to wash away some of the snow. I got the icy space where our trash tote goes cleared and got the salt from the shed. I hope I don't have to us much of it through the rest of the season.

So George H.W. Bush has died. It was hardly unexpected given his age and how frail he looked at his wife's funeral. That leaves us with four ex-presidents still living.

I simply can't resist linking to this idiocy. I guess the clerk can be excused since New Mexico has only been a state for 106 years. As Mom asked: what about newer states?
