I’m not talking about the song, I’m talking about getting absolutely snowed under. The snow was up to my waist, bears and deer were huddled together, racists forgot about their cock-eyed leanings, snowmobiles ruled the back country, bread sold for pretty much the same price, (because in a small town, store-owners catch hell on Facebook and in the backcountry people still scroll Facebook) the bartering system reared its head again-(I got three pounds of ground beef for twelve chairs that were to used for firewood) people come together in times of crisis, if only to raid Jeremy’s place (he’s such a weirdo!) and knock him out with a wrench.

Here’s me brain meanderings:

Justin Time: Justin Fields has been traded to the Chiefs. His talent has been decimated/obscured/squandered by the Bears and the Jets. Aside from the Rams I can’t think of a better landing spot for him than the Chiefs. He or his agent did a good.

March Madness is Upon Us: I’ll throw some observations out there but please do not mistake this for advice.

#12 High Point beats #5 Wiscy: it’s right there in the name.

#14 Kennesaw State beats #3 Gonzaga because the latter always folds. Anyone wonder why Coach Few hasn’t very strongly advocated for his program to join a stronger conference? It’s a complete mystery.

If #5 Texas Tech can play up to its defensive bonafides they can get to the Elite 8. Doing it without leading scorer/rebounder Tippin would an extraordinary accomplishment.

Still trying to wrap my head around the concept of “Nebraska Basketball”.

Should Miami (Ohio) get past their first opponent they can surprise.

#5 Vandy is getting better and better in both basketball and football. I assume there’s a megaton of NIL money behind the transformation but they’ve been a whipping boy for decades on end.

#10 Santa Clara beats Kentucky. Just get that latter team out of the tourney as quickly as possible-they suck.

#1 Overall Duke is getting to the Elite 8 at the very least, we just need to deal with it.

It’s all yours now.
