Finally, 5000 posts from the cranky one on a 70 degree winter day
I'm not a prolific poster, but in 7 posts I'll hit a personal landmark here. And now that we've finally taken back the House and Senate, I think the wait was worth it.

Oh, and I hope I make 10,000 by the time that stupid little frat boy dictator is hustled down the road to historical failure.

1. This morning...
I stood in front of Denville Hardware (I'm back working at the health food store) smoking a cigarette, wearing jeans & a t-shirt, and I was hot.

This is insane!

Congrats on 5,000 posts!

2. When I lived in DC
It had been 30 degrees and below for weeks. Then, on Jan 2, I stepped out of my townhouse all bundled up for the cold and it was 65 fucking degrees!

I couldn't believe it. I almost missed the subway because I had to go back in and change out of my winter layers.

3. I will stop in soon to say hello, it is a good place.
I stood on my front porch before and remembered the moment. Not in my lifetime do I remember a winters-day so grand. Neighbors al out wa;king their dogs, barbecues fired up.


A glorious day.

4. Yeah, I work in the deli during the week until 3 or 4.
I'll be the young one with the baseball cap.

Yeah, I almost went ATVing today, but ended up on the phone. I'll definitely be tearing up the trails tommorow.

5. Amazingly odd weather we've having, ain't it?
Winter? What's that?

My next-door neighbor was grilling last night on his porch; no surprise there. I haven't had one good cold day to get me in the "let's make chili" mood yet.

I'm sure you'll cruise right past 10,000 before next Inauguration Day. :)

6. Glad you're good. Got to do breakfast soon if it gets cold
Went to work this morning, just stood outside in the lot feeling the sun on my face. What a great day. Tomorrow cold, but to have no winter here to speak of has made it so much easier this season.

Be well
