It is a cold 12F this AM. No frozen pipes nor power outage, so all is well. We're supposed to get above freezing this afternoon...but back into the teens this weekend. However, next week it is back to the 60's.

I hope everyone is weathering the weather so to speak.

As to nonverbal communication...perhaps pheromones play a role?

Strange as it may sound, some scientists suspect that the humble armpit could be sending all kinds of signals from casual flirtation to sounding the alarm. That’s because the body’s secretions, some stinky and others below the threshold your nose can detect, may be rife with chemical messages called pheromones. Yet despite half a century of research into these subtle cues, we have yet to find direct evidence of their existence in humans.

No human pheromone has been identified or isolated, so the jury is still out.

Stay warm and be well!

degrees here, cloudy but rain stopped. Put together a pizza dough sourdough) last night for long rise and "soak", will use for dinner tonight, so easy-peasy dinner duties today.

Thanks for Van the Man, good way to start off the day.

I can't even get all my devices to sync, let alone my brain waves, and the crevasses of my mind? Here be Monsters. There's the zen-existential-solipcist lurking in multiple manifestations and assorted dada wierdos waiting to grab the unwary passerby. I seldom go there, can't imagine anybody else would wish to.

Quiz: What color is an echo?

Well, Let's go see how much of Monday's to-do list I can finally polish off today.

be well and have a good one

in getting all hot, bothered, and involved in local politics.
I have a friend/client who is a peace officer, and this person is running for the precinct constable position. 15 minutes before the kick off meet and greet the candidates rally, he was arrested in a neighboring county for impersonating a peace office in yet another county. His opponent was able to announce to the crowd 15 minutes later that his opponent was in jail, would not be present at the rally. LOL all the way around. It gets better: my friend/client found out that his charge was a misdemeanor of impersonating a security guard. So, his high bond was for a non-existent crime as reflected on the warrant.
Now, the opponent getting the crowd to laugh, was once a county sheriff's deputy. He was fired after he got arrested for night hunting deer, a felony. He killed a prize robot buck and a game warden saw him shoot it. No way I can check public records to see how the perp made that case go away without being made a target. Let someone else do the digging.
So far, there are 3 counties involved in this corruption.
Good times!

Klaus didn’t look very happy to be called out on his effing plan to rule the world.

Lots and lots of snow here this morning. Stopped for a tad, but has started up again. So many flakes that it’s hard to see the house across the street from me. Might rain later today and then I won’t have to clear the drive. I’ve already fallen on my buttocks once going down it. Blower ended up at the bottom….fun times.
I gave the dawg a bone…she is quite happy.

The rest of the tweet:

As for victory, it does not depend on the “permission” of Macron or anyone else - Russia will do what it said.”
