I’ve not heard of Helen Merrill before. But she has a lovely voice, perfect diction. Had to look her up…she was well-known among the bebop jazz scene and began her career in 1954, and is still around at 93.
If there wasn’t snow on the ground and with a bright sun streaming in my office window, I could believe it was a lovely summer day.

Good day, Czarina!
I have one pair of red socks but since they’re in the wash, I can’t wear them in celebration of National Red Sock Day while eating some shredded cabbage.
As for random acts of kindness, this man is a winner….

Copied from an online commenter –
“Patrick Bet-David on X:
Let’s do some math.
President Trump has been ordered to pay $83.3m and $354m.
Combined its $437m. Including interest, it could be another $100m.
His net worth is estimated to be between $2b to $2.6b.
That’s estimated to be between 21% to 27% of his net worth.
However, experts have claimed that Trump has somewhere between $600m to $700m is in cash. Trump has said that he only has $400m in cash.
This may seem like a lot to the average person but not when you’re being asked to pay $537m in damages + interest.
This doesn’t include the legal fees that have been pilling up as well as the fines his two sons received.
If he chooses to appeal, he would have to secure a bond by putting up about 10% of the total amount owed.
That could be $44m which he may not get back.
In other words, this non sense decision and insane dollar amount by the judge could deplete Trump’s savings anywhere from (-$137m) to $163m.
Love him or hate him, this is what it means.
1. Thirty years from now, a woman can come out and falsely claim allegations against YOU, and if the judge hates your politics, they will believe her and made up any number to destroy your life savings.
2. If you build your wealth through real estate, and pay back all your commitments to banks, buyers and sellers, a judge who hates your politics could make up any number to deplete YOUR life savings and prevent you from doing business.
So what does this do to capitalists and those with aspirations to run in the future.
1. Scare the crap out of great future candidates.
2. Eliminate anyone’s family from supporting their father or mother from running.
3. Distance family members from those who choose to run to avoid being sued. Notice which of Trumps kids got sued and who didn’t.
4. Make the candidate rethink why they ever chose to run in the first place and ruin the lifestyle of the rich and famous they once had.
Or last but not least it could ENERGIZE an entire new generation who love
to realize how much trouble she’s in to fight like hell and defend the the values this nation was built on.
This requires a certain level of courage that words can’t describe.
This won’t be a fight for everyone.
You’re going to have to have a few screws missing to get in this fight.
But what is FREEDOM worth to YOU?
That’s the most important question one has to ask.
God is good.
Future looks bright!”

Afternoon All. I believe it was 8* when we got up at 10:00. But, the sun is out so bright it is blinding and the sky looks perfectly clear. I am so thankful every day that I bought the down coat I have before I came up here. I really don’t know what I would do without it. There was only one day that I got cold while wearing it, and the temp was very low and dropping and it was windy. It got through even my coat.
Well, hope you are all staying well.

Elon Musk Picks Apart The Trump Civil Case Verdict With One Simple Question
By Cullen McCue February 17, 2024
X and SpaceX owner Elon Musk dismissed the verdict in Trump’s civil fraud case by simply asking who the supposed victim was if all of the loans granted to Trump were paid back with interest.
In a rather unsurprising move, the former was found liable in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ civil suit brought against Trump and his companies. Trump was ordered to “pay back” more than $350 million after the years-long case brought forward by an attorney general who campaigned on “getting Trump” came to a close.
REAKING: President Trump is ordered to pay $354 Million in the NY civil fraud trial by Judge Engoron. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump ordered to pay $4 Million. This is a case with zero victims, all loans were repaid, and the banks even testified in defense of Trump Hotels.
Musk responded with a simple question in an X post. “Given that there were no victims with losses, who is supposed to receive the money?” asked Musk.

Trump Savages Judge Engoron After Whopping $350 Million Fine: ‘Ruled Against Me Before He Even Saw the Case’
By Jack Davis February 17, 2024 at 9:33am
“My case was already won in the Appellate Division, and more than 80% of the frivolous claims were wiped out. Yet, as I suspected, and in order to hurt me and the Republican Party politically, Crooked and Corrupt Judge Arthur Engoron ignored his loss at the Appellate Division, and came up with an outrageous $355 Million Dollar fine against me,” Trump wrote.

IRS Warns Tax Refunds Will Be Much Lower This Year – Inflation-hit Americans who filed their taxes early have received, on average, smaller tax refunds this year.
By Jack Phillips – Updated: 2/17/2024
Illinois-based certified accountant Daniel Rahill told USA Today that early filers might be getting smaller refunds because they haven’t increased their tax withholding amounts.
“Gig workers may have earned more income, but not stepped up their estimated tax payments, again yielding smaller refunds,” Mr. Rahill said, saying that “some filers may have reaped more investment income from a strong stock market, triggering more taxes.”
