January 2, 3, 4

Sunny right now and most of the snow is still on the north facing roots but gone from the sidewalks and streets. The temperatures are cold but still higher than normal for early January.

We had a shopping errand today. We have depleted our frozen foods and meats over the last three months or so. It was time to replenish. Soon we will do the same for the pantry. We usually split the large shopping trips and spread them over two days.

We have another shopping trip planned today. I expect to be pretty wiped out after we get back and get the groceries put away. I haven's seen much on the news or blogs to comment on. Same old, same old.

Jan 4******************************************************************

Our last errand for the week, because we rescheduled our visit to the local dairy to Monday, is my appointment with the dentist. Hopefully, it will go well. I still hate dental work it is just that I want to keep my teeth more.

Aurelien had a good post yesterday. I didn't post on it because I wanted to re-read it. It is well worth a second look.

Bill Astore's post is interesting for how much has, especially "national boundaries, have changed in the last century plus AND for how much has not changed, like the propensity for powerful countries to meddle anywhere and everywhere. George W. Bush once told us that "they," meaning adversaries in the Middle East, hate for our democracy. No they hate us for imposing our attitudes and so-called values on them. Note what Aurelien says (linked above) about our dysfunctional government (and our allies) lecturing other countries about just about everything.
