    My mom lives about a mile from an active rail line. While I was staying at her house recently I would hear the trains go by in the middle of the night and think of this song.

    Trains of a bygone era. I always think of this one...

    If you understood what it's like being trapped in my dad's former bedroom (complete with the certificates detailing the supposed "noble titles" he bought), with the relatives yelling at each other outside, unable to wander on the property due to them and unable to go for a drive bc Sacramento drivers are nuts...

    Cool old thermometer I found at a flea market in Sutter Creek, Cal., while I was waiting out the snowstorm at me mom's house. The dumb seller stuck the price on it with masking tape right on top of the ad, which came off with the tape. Ugh.

    View from my front door on 3 February around 7:30am.About 2.5 inches (6cm) of snow overnight, and still falling.

    @Judge I am located around 2800 foot elevation. Snow levels are always lower here. Also, it tends not to rain too much in a desert.

    @Outdated: Yep, the north and south hemispheres are weather opposites.

    Yes, I noticed that on the latest weather maps...so much more snow and at lower elevations. Kinda freaky. Yet here we are still having only rain, but very high winds in select areas. Not expecting much snow at the valley level, but a lot above 8000 feet. We sure need that snow and rain though.

    Aside from 2 or 3 people, nobody would notice or care if I died. Therefore, suicide would be a waste of time and resources. I am already "dead" in most of the ways civilization considers people to be "alive", so why not enjoy it? Walk away from rejection and live outside the bubble.

    Gonna cook a beef roast ("tri tip" as this cut is called in the US) for Christmas tomorrow. Turkey is generally only available around here for Thanksgiving.

    That sounds good. Ham is also a common Christmas tradition food. Not sure how common it is now-a-days, though.

    Few people eat bone-in ham here for any holiday anymore. There was a company called Honeybaked that sold cooked hams for the holidays, but they went out of business years ago. Bone-in ham is so difficult to cook that few bother. Certain ethnicities who eat pig on holidays tend to opt for pork roasts now.

    Cool vintage ashtray found in a local thrift store. Drawing appears to be of a post-WW2 medium duty Ford truck.

    I probably only have about 20-25 years left (up to early 70s) so I am going to enjoy what I have left while waiting for the inevitable visit from Grim Reaper/Santa Muerte.

    will be on only sporadically, as there hasn't been very many sunny days here and I rely on solar power, and even though I use a laptop it chomps tons of juice.

    Maple candy time. I bought two boxes off Ebay because I didn't notice that I was buying a quarter pound instead of the full one pound I wanted. So I get 20 ounces of maple candy to raise my blood sugar levels too high.

    Sky (well, lots of rain) forecasted to fall here all week starting early Monday. Chicken Little is dutifully monitoring the radio for further notices.

    20mph winds with temps in the upper 30s deg F outside right now. I will wait until later to put the tools back in the shed.

    is making an insulated enclosure for my house battery to keep it warm during cold nights so it doesn't lose so much voltage. Gonna install it early tomorrow morning while listening to KCBS-AM San Francisco.
