Good morning, G&C! When we were kids we called the sky shown in the bottom photo, a mackerel sky. It’s not quite as dense as this photo…
…but I think it still is a cirrocumulus (had to look up the official term..LOL!).
Yes, fireplaces are so enticing. I know many folks were wishing they had one during the Texas crisis.

I’d not heard the ditty before. So I looked it up and found this interesting article from a navigation website…
“Mackerel Sky” Posted January 17, 2017
‘Mackerel sky, mackerel sky – never long wet, never long dry.’
However, if you want to work out whether it is a change for better or worse then we need to know the difference between the two types of cloud that can create a mackerel sky: altocumulus and cirrocumulus.

It’s compulsive, Tundra. I used to love going to libraries with all the card catalog cabinets. In college I was preparing to write on the American Civil War and got stuck in the Mathew Brady photography section. Hours later I hadn’t even finished taking notes for what I wanted to write on. Brady’s work is so first rate, it’s still the envy of photojournalists. He also took the photo of Lincoln which is on our $5 bill.

Black Man Sentenced to 3 Years in Prison for Arguing With BLM Racists
Friday, Feb. 19, 2021 – by Daniel Greenfield
I wrote about Manny Wilder’s case last year. The case unfortunately got very little attention. And now he’s being sent to prison for 3 years at a time when actual violent criminals are barely being arrested, and getting a slap on the wrist for violent offenses.

That’s great re his having good legal representation and a fair judge. If the prosecutor is another SJW type, lies and half-truths will be the order of the day. Hopefully the defense was able to get all the video evidence available as it sounds like the prosecution is a “withhold evidence” cadre.

Good afternoon, aus! We’re at 33 degrees but it truly feels much colder with all the snow piled up everywhere.
Sometimes I think pharmaceutical companies are just experimenting on all of us and haven’t run trials properly to discover the side effects of drugs. The Wuhan vaccine is a case in point. No way was there enough time to do proper studies. Who knows what kind of zombies they are creating even though we’re assured every day that it is sooooo safe. I hope I’m totally wrong and that it’s the best thing since sliced bread.

As far as the COVID vaccine goes, I can’t see getting it when I have a 94.5% chance of surviving the disease itself. And, especially when so many doctors around the world are warning against it. Besides, I already had it a year ago for sure and should have the antibodies.

Precisely right, Lucille. I am not an anti-vaxer by any means. I believe wholeheartedly in vaccinations, especially for childhood illnesses. But my husband and I (71 & 69) will not be taking the Wuhan flu vaccines. They have not been studied anywhere near adequately. Side effects appear to be massive and wide spread and efficacy is quite questionable. And for a disease with a 99.97% recovery rate, and 95% in our age group, the risk/benefit analysis does not support it..
There was an excellent article in American Thinker a few days ago, by a physician with whom I agree completely:

Hi (Waving) Sunny is good! 🙂
It’s going to be 40 up here in a few days which is too warm for this time of year for NH. When it’s too warm in the winter the trees and plants start to blossom, then they freeze and die when it gets cold again. Some never come back.
I’m guessing in the 40’s in OK is more normal for your area this time of year, so that’s great for you! 😉

For winter themed art we have “The Snow Queen” by Hans Christian Anderson illustrated by Edmund Dulac. Here are 3 different book covers:
Edmund Dulac (born Edmond Dulac; October 22, 1882 – May 25, 1953) was a French-born, British naturalised magazine illustrator, book illustrator and stamp designer. Born in Toulouse he studied law but later turned to the study of art at the École des Beaux-Arts. ~ wiki
An interesting article about Dulac and the timing of his arrival in London and how it related to the method of reproducing color plates is at https://www.bpib.com/illustrat/dulac.htm along with more of his beautiful illustrations. He is one of my favorite artists. For some reason his illustrations lend themselves so very well to fairy tales.
Have a great day everyone 😉

I finally remembered the artist with similar style – it was Michael Hague! He had a lot of books and calendars in the 1980’s and 90’s. His style was very much like Dulac who died in 1953. Here is a photo of a cookie tin with his Snow Queen illustration on the cover. There were a set of 4 of these tins with different illustrations. I had the set. I think I gave it away when I had to move and downsize. 😦

Make a suggestion to them that they buy a My Pillow from Mike Lindell. I bought mine years ago before most people knew who he was and before he became involved in politics. It’s a great pillow. I’m sure it will help them sleep. It worked wonders for me and my injured back and neck, especially after my being exhausted from decades of overwork, working 2 jobs while paying for college and helping my family. Of course when I include their theory I should add the fatigue of my ancestors who worked like dogs for genrations and suffered through mustard gassing in WW1.
