If Your Memory Serves You Well -- From November, 2013 -- December 25, 2022

All this talk about cold weather this year, it's as if it never happened before.

Link here.

A musical interlude:


Julie Driscoll Brian Auger & Trinity - Wheels On Fire (1968)

If your memory serves you well
We're going to meet again and wait.
So I'm going to unpack all my things
And sit before it gets too late.
No man alive will come to you
With another tale to tell,
And you know that we shall meet again
If your memory serves you well.  

-- Bob Dylan and Rick Danko

Cookies For Hanakkah; Lefse; And, Tex-Mex In NYC -- December 25, 2022

Merry Christmas, Y'all -- December 25, 2022

For now: Lots of energy stories later, but for now, just resting in my toasty, warm bed in north Texas -- Euless, near Grapevine, DFW, Texas. 

We haven't turned the heat on since yesterday evening when we turned on the heat for about fifteen minutes before dinner. Woke up to 69° in the apartment. Now, it's just toasty warm under a lot of blankets. I'm lovin' it.

ERCOT, the grid held. The media is reporting some outages in Texas but they were regional, they were minor, and they had nothing to do with ERCOT. 

Dallas Cowboys win big; incredibly good game; and, it could have easily turned out differently.

Best use of science: I had audio "off." Did not listen to audio; video was all I needed. Link here.

Feature City of The Week: Tromsó, Norway

When you click on the wiki link:

  • scroll about a third of the way down;
  • find the daytime, panoramic view of Tromsó;
  • don't click on the photo but put your arrow over the picture, and scroll all the way to the right;
  • then click on the picture and click on the arrows at the right, so see some great photos of this northernmost city

Or, simply watch this video two or three times.

Christmas Dinner 2022

No more turkey or ham for me from now on, for either Christmas or Thanksgiving. 

Lobster, salmon, and shrimp this year, but Peking Duck is still in the mix for future dinners, but most likely as part of a New Year's celebration.
