23 February

Feeling much better today though not yet 100%. We did get out grocery shopping today. We had quite a bit to get because we hadn't bought anything for two weeks from yesterday which was the first heavy day of snow and bitter cold. The snow is now melting though we have some mountains of snow that probably will still be around in mid-April. The temperatures are supposed to be in the mid 30s and 40s for the next two weeks.

This piece from Crooks&Liars is interesting. CNN has decided that they don't need to air the daily White House briefings after airing almost every bit of nonsense uttered by Former #45 and his inept spokespeople. Perhaps that the "different rules" aren't as bad as portrayed. I remembered when MSNBC stopped airing every one of Former #45's daily (pseudo)COVID briefings because they had deteriorated to campaign-rallies-by-another-name or whine tests. On the few occasions when something newsworthy came up they cut in. I have thoroughly enjoyed the current administration's briefings because they are informative without being inflammatory or sensational. The lack of drama is refreshing.
