Mornin’ All. It is 36* here, raining lightly, and feels pretty warm for some reason. All the snow is gone and there are puddles everywhere. And, it is pretty overcast at the moment.

This Ancient Snow Stove Doesn’t Melt
Footage: @WoodsboundOutdoors This ancient snow stove technique allowed people to cook, boil water, and survive in some of the coldest environments on Earth. By using snow, air flow, and fire, this simple design turns freezing ground into a powerful heat source. It’s a survival method that made life possible in places where fire shouldn’t even work.

Good day, aus! When I saw the video, it seemed like an ingenious method to stay warm. However, my nephew, who has been a hunter in heavy snow country since childhood, both with family and with native Indian friends, had never heard of it, let alone seen it. So he was skeptical indicating that it wouldn’t radiate heat and the mound would eventually melt, leaving a person to create multiple such emergency mounds.
Also, does everyone keep matches in their glove compartments to start the fire? Otherwise, you’d better know the two-sticks-rubbed-together method. ‘Taint easy with wet wood.

Good mornin’, and happy Monday, all! We should all be rested up for the first Monday workday of the year, but it was a bit of a busy weekend, it seems. As the new year begins, it’s often a time of looking back, and our coffee pot does just that. An Art Deco design, this is rather unique looking. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee!

That’s a mighty pretty Art Deco coffee pot, Texan! Couldn’t find any sterling silver mugs; so these modern Art Deco themed mugs will have to do….
And this vintage Lenox Art Deco set is simply gorgeous, though they might be a tad too froo-froo for some….

I think your assessment is spot on. The bottom set is definitely for a fancy dinner party and the cups up top are for heavy-duty coffee drinking.

I’ll take National Screenwriters’ Day…how about THE BIRDS? The story was by Daphne du Maurier and the screenplay by Evan Hunter….
However, my choice for the best screenplay is CASABLANCA. A copy of that screenplay was published in book form in 1973 as a book club edition (remember those?). One time when watching the film I got out my copy and checked off every line, making a few changes re what ended up on the screen as opposed to the written script. I have no idea how many times I’ve seen it, probably well over 50 after it came out on VHS.

Just read this on X. Don’t know if it’s true, but I don’t doubt it. People need to let Tucker, Megan, and most abysmal person on the internet right now, Crazy Candace, reap the irrelevance they deserve by just not engaging with them, or supporting them.
Tucker Carlson believes it’s a “distinct possibility” that the U.S. captured Maduro to *checks notes* “bring gay marriage to Venezuela.”

How Snatching Maduro Screws Up Everyone Else’s Plans – Lemme Count the Ways
By Beege Welborn – 11:20 AM | January 05, 2026
This has been quite the cool weekend, no? Blew my Saturday morning all to bits after I woke up to John’s early morning post about the invasion, and Ed’s ‘We got him’ follow-up. The next couple of hours were busy as the unbelievable events of the past 24 hours unfolded, and we started getting the scoop on the raid in the capital city of Venezuela that had gone down damn near flawlessly.
As the press conference wrapped up, I had already started wondering what the ripples – or maybe it would be even a tsunami – of aftereffects flowing from yanking this one guy out of his chair would do around the world.

Here’s two articles re Victor Davis Hanson….
Dear friends,
As a further update to my previous piece on Victor Davis Hanson – one of the most brilliant minds of our time, whose insights have shaped my views – I’m grateful for his wisdom.
He remains in recovery from major surgery on December 30, 2025, following a nine-month health ordeal, with ongoing post-operative procedures and tests. The surgery’s success is still not determined. According to sources close to him, Hanson is aware of and moved by the widespread support and prayers. Please continue lifting him up in prayer.
With hope,
Joseph Fosco
