Why do I keep forgetting to say “good morning from the night before” when I do my initial post? By the time I get back here, entire eons of events AND “stella’s place” good mornings have come and gone….
[BTW, the Walk for Life West Coast was GREAT. Will try to put thoughts together on it, and post later, for tomorrow.]

Morning everybody! Storm report: from 7pm to 12am about 4″ on the ground. It’s 19*, wind ENE at 5knots, wind chill 19. Zero visibility, and barometer still dropping.
Have stop for the evening, hot shower, and a cup of hot coffee by the fire. I start again around 0700. Hope all are safe, and well.

I’m eating one of the Honeybells (Minneola) that came from Florida today. It’s as sweet as candy and as big as a small grapefruit. Delish!

Mornin’, Stella!
When I was in FL last month, my parents’ neighbors gave me a whole bag of honey bells.
You could sugar your coffee with them. The best orange I’ve ever eaten.
Not a trace of tartness. Just a sugar rush.

They still have that wonderful citrus quality. I also love the Florida pink grapefruit – favorite for breakfast!

I never heard of these. I may have to order some. Oranges have become a staple for me. I usually eat three or four a day.

You might be able to buy them in a local supermarket too, although they will probably be labeled as “minneola”. It is actually a variety of tangelo, although they usually aren’t called that. It is a cross between a particular kind of grapefruit and a mandarin orange.

P.S.: They are available in December, January, and February. The California variety may be available later than that. The Florida fruit often looks kind of beat up, while the California looks perfect (same with the navel oranges). They are both good, but the Florida fruit has a thinner skin, and is bursting with juice.

Two things I saw on FB this morning that is a sign people are stupid.
The first was a post on how to naturally remove bags under your eyes, a picture with jalapeno slices over your eyes. Two different people commented and said, “Do not do this it burned my eyes.” One added they had to go to the emergency room. lol
The second post was a picture of two metal probes connected to a metal ring and said, “Volt testers for sale $19.99.”
Three people commented and asked how they work? lol
LikeLiked by 5 people
I couldn’t resist, I told them they needed to buy one and check their plugs to see if they were getting the correct voltage.
Then one of them asked if it beeped or lit up or something to let you know.
The guy who posted it said, “It will light something up.”
Finally somebody ruined all the fun and told them it was a joke, nobody was selling them and it would shock you.
They didn’t find it funny.

So, I was reading a book that referenced another book that I can’t find yet. The one I can’t find was written during the French revolution, by a Frenchman, against the French revolution. He seems to have disappeared along with his book (of course it was written in French, so I just may not be searching for it correctly) .
Anyway, this guy supposedly writes that the whole thing originally was a plan set in motion by Fredrick the great as a way to attack the Catholic church, and France.
I don’t think that is a plausible theory for a number of reasons.
However, I do agree that the attack on Christianity started around that time. Religious morality is the linchpin of Western civilization, and the tenets of what has become known as socialism are not compatible.

They want exclusive black safe places including segregated spaces in the library.
And they want fried chicken.
Next I guess they’ll want black only water fountains and black only bathrooms.
