Frozen Hades-Scape Saturday Pre-Footy Thread

As an arctic blast envelops the portions of Murrika not currently on FUCKING FIRE, we sit patiently and await Wild Card action.  I can sit patiently, because though the week started fairly shittily, it ended well.  I got the LAST Friday slot for a new HVAC repair outfit, and finally got a good tech who knew what the fuck he was doing.  Fixed me up in like 45 minutes.

Yes, I have been heatless since SUNDAY.  Shuttled the one good electric space heater back and forth between floors to keep things at least in the low-to-mid 50s.  FUCK ME, it was rough.

But of course, that is the cherry on the sundae after Walking Penis Dinosaur Sean Dyche finally got the sack.  Club favoutire Leighton Baines, on 3 hours notice, led the Toffees to a comfortable 2-nil FA Cup win.  100% win rate, fookin’ legend!

Unfortunately…the full-time replacement is the return of David Moyes.  Not great, Bob.  But at least a bit better.  I will take what I can get in this Timeline.

I suppose other rando FA Cup matches are on ESPN+ if you want background distraction.

You get that taste once and Playoff Viewing becomes an addiction.

I don’t mean to be all JEWISH SPACE LAZERS or anything, but these after pics of LA show a lot of structures burned — but the trees in their yards did not.

And a lot of historically stupid people will follow my line of thinking so, yeah, give me a podcast.

Insurance fraud?

I’m flying back and forth between two areas of the country that are actually having decent weather. Chicago is somehow too far north to be getting the deep freeze, which is odd, but it’s only been around freezing with some light snow yesterday, and like 82F in my condo even with the window open. I really ought to email the association and see if they can turn down the heat a bit. Then it’s been mid-60s in the Bay Area.

It’s been balmy 9-20 degrees all week here. To be honest, the drive home just now was the scariest it’s been in a while. It finally started to snow, and it’s getting heavier.

We dealt with a lot of fender-benders all night. The disconcerting part to me were the three-out-of-five heart attack calls I had of people younger than me. One dude I for sure was going to lose consciousness before responders got there, but thankfully didn’t.

The Stillers getting prison-raped later may not be the biggest news around Yinzerville this weekend.

Stay safe, Dok. Well, everyone, just do whatever to stay safe. This isn’t a great weekend anywhere.

There’s a reason we call those other states flyover country.
