Hard to believe we're already at this point of the year, and yet...here we are.
If you like your mornings a bit on the frosty side, then today will fit the bill.
Our Hoosierland weather for today finds us with mostly sunny skies to start with, turning more cloudy as the day passes, with a high expected to be around 41 degrees. Got some "wintry-mix" stuff moving in overnight into tomorrow morning (oh, joy).

*** Next up, Bill O'Reilly had a very good column this week, and here it is:

My father used to remind me to dress appropriately for whatever venue you find yourself, because people will judge you by the way you dress (as well as what you say)...and he was right on that one, too.
*** Next, News-Sentinel columnist Kevin Leininger has another good article. Here's the link:

Now, I thought I left this sort of stuff back in Philly, but apparently, as cities grow (and get larger minority populations), this sort of thing just HAS to follow.I don't like rats, and you'll not see me trying to feed them or befriend them, and with good reason - they are major disease carriers. I feel the same way with possum and raccoon.
Other people feel much the same about squirrels, but I've never come across any that were NOT friendly (like Patches or Mr. Wrinkles). If a squirrel doesn't act in a good way, I avoid it...simple as that. Same with people.

| Not THIS kind of rat |
Read back into history, and you'll get the gist of this quite well.
*** Next up, another "21 Country" spot from Eric Olson that I found remarkable, and when you watch the video (which pertain to our city of Fort Wayne), you'll know why soon enough. Here's the link:

| This is NOT that easy to do. |
He's working on a book, and one which I would be most interested in buying.
*** Next, time to stop on by "Kitten Corner"...
 |
| So peaceful...so cute. |
It just becomes bothersome when you have to "herd" two cats, because they're acting like THIRTY cats...lol.
 |
| "I COULD use a belly-rub". |
(it's called sucking up...and by God, it works...!)
*** Next up, let's check back in with "Midnight and Company"...
 |
| "Why yes, this is OUR patio, too." |
 |
| I iz all lasered-out, now." |
Somehow, it wouldn't be a morning without seeing them on the patio...
*** Last back to the pot o' gold...tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day.
And it's a day when I change my name (for 24 hours) to Bobby McG...LOL.

May the Strength of God pilot us.
May the Power of God preserve us.
May the Wisdom of God instruct us.
May the Hand of God protect us.
May the Way of God direct us.
May the Shield of God defend us.
May the Host of God guard us
Against the snares of the evil ones,
Against temptations of the world.
May Christ be with us!
May Christ be before us!
May Christ be in us,
Christ be over all!
May Thy Salvation, Lord,
Always be ours,
This day, O Lord, and evermore. Amen.
Do have yourselves a good weekend.
Stay SAFE out there, America.

Well, I see I haven't been here yet once again. Gimme just a second, and I'll show up.
Days: No interest in artichokes, and had a similar discussion on brussels sprouts on FB yesterday.
Blew the everything right deal, but who doesn't?
St Paddys was no big deal here, just a bottle of GM.
You and me on hot dogs.
I'll be better on Awkward Monday, I'm sure.
I'll take D's sloppy joe!

As dumb as I am fashion wise, I would never not even attempt to be presentable. That's not "lack of forethought", that's lack of RESPECT.
You can blame the weather on rats all you want. I have seen several examples of people leaving their garbage bags at their front door "to take to the dumpster in the morning", only to have them taken by wind or animals and ripped up. Lazy people make rat restaurants.
I understand Mrs McG was in all her regalia at Krogers today... You should be warned one of my co-workers did the same thing at work Friday.
Chris:
---Time travel can be a bugger once in a while...lol.
---Every Monday seems awkward these days...
---I love sloppy joes (toss in some hot sauce and they get even better!)
---Yeah, Dad said something along those lines as well...amazing how RESEPCT keeps coming into play.
---Yeah, here in Hoosierland, you have more possum and raccoon thievery going on.
(I think the weather thing was tongue-in-cheek...or it should be)
---Again, it comes down to PEOPLE, and the way THEY act that begs for the actions of the critters. I see half-eaten food tossed around here at least several times a week.
(If you weren't that hungry, why the hell did you BUY IT?)
People breed rats more than they breed themselves.
---Good Lord...that was a hoot. I told our Kroger friend (another Bob - there's 3 of us total) there that "she's about as IRISH as MUSSOLINI"...!
(had a good laugh over that one)
Hey, thanks for stopping by to comment.
Stay safe (Scrappy wants a walk today) up there, brother.
