Welcome to 2024. We greeted the new year when our neighbors woke us with their fireworks. We finally got snow late yesterday and overnight. Maybe 3 inches. I don't know how long it will stay--most of the daily high temps are supposed to be above freezing for the next week.
First stray thought of the day: one of the segments on the news/commentary show we watched made an interesting point. The Former Guy is the center of a movement and the only way to defeat a movement is to build a counter balancing movement. But he, the interviewee didn't see any such a movement in either the non-MAGA side of the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. The problem is that for most of us politics has become a "spectator sport." We have about as much connection to the politics and politicians as football fans. We show up on game day to view the contest. Some of us might spend a lot of time and money getting paraphernalia and decorations. How many of your politicians have you actually met? I haven't met any.
