If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

Day two of the big snowstorm. Like I have said many times, a cellphone camera doesn’t capture snow falling. I will try again later with flash to see if that helps.

I was out there gathering snow for melt. If you burn a wood fire as I do, you already know it is important to keep water on the woodstove, to keep up the humidity levels. If you don’t, everything gets very dry, very fast.

The morning jobs are done, cats fed, coffee made, Fixin’s added. The back deck swept off, ready for the gen.

I hesitate while drinking my coffee, trying to remember what time I started running the gen yesterday.  I am sure I am not done my ten-hour breakin yet.

Enough time to kill a Dictator, rescue a nice Asari lady, diverted an asteroid from killing millions, killed a million-year-old plant-based life form that was enslaving a colony, after coffee, I will continue and blow up a cloning facility on another planet. All in the comfort of my chair.

What else do you do on a day it is too snowy to do much else, I mean besides the million inside things that need doing?

I just checked the weather forecasts. The big snow that was supposed to happen isn’t, they say. I already have 3 inches out there, with more falling.

Just north of me, there is a heavy snowfall warning, if the clouds just knew how to stick to the borders they set out for them on the Government weather website, I wouldn’t be concerned.

I guess they didn’t check the weather rock, you know, the one they predict the weather with. If it’s wet, it’s raining. If it throws a shadow it’s sunny, and if they can’t find it, it is either buried in deep snow or a trucker has it. Time for the Emergency Measures act.

Wait a minute, take our guns, get us intoxicated, force us to do things in the name of the greater good, punish and divide the uncooperative ones.

Wasn’t this tried in Europe, say about eighty years ago? Did we forget?

Elon Musk thinks so, and he is a lot smarter than me.
