Life in a smallish town...local FB page post - Walmart closed at 7 tonight!
This follows posts asking how the roads are. They are frozen and slick, just like during every other ice storm. smh
OMG - what will we do to survive? Tomorrow the weather is to be bad, more cold and snow and sleet. By Monday it'll be in the 60s again. Calm down people.

I'm reminded that as a kid (about age 11), we got 4 inches of snow, and
school was closed for two days. Southern Californians just can't deal. My dad drove to work, anyway. That was nothing, compared to what he drove through in Minnesota.

If you hold a weasel up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by a weasel.

A miracle is defined as that which natural evidence cannot explain. In other words, "we don't know how so it's a miracle". That is a lying circle.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Culinary idea: taking a pepper mill, grinding up some bacon, and using the mill to grind it up even smaller.

Or just buy a container of bacon bits.

It also helps with creating a more even spread of bacon.
