Snow day #6 in a row tomorrow. Need something else to watch. Death By
Lightning was really good. Rewatched many shows and finishing up Lonesome Dove now. I think I’ve about reached the end of the internet.

My go-to for this is "Nobody's Fool". Great breadth of actors, plus great
dialogue and some brief gratuitous T&A to top it off. Paul Newman Jessica Tandy (last role I believe) Bruce Willis Melanie Griffiith

I didn't know the history of James Garfield before watching that. Really
good series.

Lol....was gonna say "the wife watched that Garfield thing and liked it...
Didn't know that was the name of it. I couldn't get into it. Something about seeing the lovely early 1800s depicted with every character using the F word in literally every sentence turned me off, somehow....

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Did they really use “m-f’er that much
Back then? I don’t know, maybe some of them did talk like a 2020’s high school asshat back then. But it just seemed out of place for it to be THAT frequent. Like many shows now it seemed like they thought, “How can we make this more edgy…I know, let’s add some sex scenes and lots of the F word!”

FWIW, I'm actually in town in C'burg...we got 7" and still haven't...
...been plowed yet. I'm shocked they're making the admin and office staff go in tomorrow. People in the county still haven't seen a plow yet from LAST week's storm, and the wind chill is gonna be minus 5 in the morning. Thought sure it would be a full system closure.

I talked with our custodian today. He had to work all day at school
Scraping the sidewalks and shoveling it. He’s had to work every day except Monday, Tuesday and yesterday.

A few reasons….
1. If we are virtual the cafeteria staff is required to come in and food made for families. 2. In line with #1, roads are worse than the end of last week (pic of my neighborhood just now…and I live just off the main road and within walking distance of the VDOT lot). 3. At the elementary level we were told to prepare and send home 3 days worth of work for our kids…elementary are not doing online work, paper and pencil packets only. So there’s no way to have elementary kids do work since we already did our 3 days of that last week.

So what are elementary kids going to do Tuesday and beyond?
No way you're schooling before Thursday, and that seems in doubt with more possible weather midweek....

I agree. I was thinking we would be back Wednesday. I have no idea.
I’m thinking they’ll make Tuesday a “code orange” as well and a 2hr delay on Wednesday. I don’t think they have an idea of what they’ll do.

I have been trying to watch one of them I haven't seen before. 3 times now,
and I fall asleep before finishing it. I tune back in where I left off, and still...zzz. It's all good. Falling asleep in front of the TV has always been nirvana for me. For naps? Lazy Boy and a baseball game. I'm done by the third.

In Goldfinger, 007 dismissed a woman because it was time for “man talk” and
smacked her on the arse as she left.
