January 15

We have fog today which is lifting a bit now but a winter storm is coming that the weather people say will bring the coldest temperatures so far this season. We plan to stay home and vegetate. I just tossed the stevia because it bloomed and has lost the sweetness I grow it for, and the lemon grass because it is simply too big to grow in the small space we have available. We can't put it in the larger space because the cats try to eat it. For that same reason I can't put roses there. Who knew cats would chow down on roses??? My attempts to overwinter plants have had limited success with the rosemary being the most successful. I have three pots; one a three year old plant and two others started as cuttings last fall. I lost my oldest rosemary, 7 years old at the time it decided to give up the ghost last spring. It provided the cuttings for the oldest surviving rosemary.

We watched part of the debates last night.  It came on right after the Jeopardy "Greatest of All Time" championship tournament which was far more interesting and exciting. We stopped when that idiot of a moderator asked Sanders if he really told Elizabeth Warren a woman couldn't win the presidency and followed up asking her what she thought of the statement Sanders just denied making. The stupidity of asking a person about a statement another person allegedly made just after he denied making it is mind boggling. It was an attempt to manufacture a fight and, to both candidates' credit, they declined the bait.

It doesn't really matter is Sanders does or doesn't believe a woman can be elected president. I know enough people who agree with the negative. Several are family members. Time may (or may not) solve that problem if enough of those who don't think a female president can be elected  either die or change their minds.
