“I think people treat me with more dignity when I dress more masculinely, but people are way nicer to me when I dress more femininely,” said El Layla Johnson, 33, a former restaurant server who is now a therapist.

Not when viewed from inside a 72° house.
Sucks to be the dog though. I’m anticipating he’ll have a 10 second pee within 10 ft of the deck.

That’s what he gets for being a dog. It’s 73Fs in my house. We turned the gas fire on for a while.

Now that we have some glimmers of daylight, I don’t even see a bunny out there.

Yes, and as I’m reminded at least once a week, this IS “The South!”

What do I know? I’ve never lived farther south than San Diego, or Yuma. Or Del Rio. Which isn’t “South,” I’m told.
And I don’t WANT to live in the Deep South. I want to go back to the desert where it’s hot and dry, thanks!

Good Middle of the Week Morn!
Patiently (to the best of my abilities) waiting for this gloomy freezing rain to move out of here... apparently another day and a half of it remains...
At least a good start on the Wordle front for today...
