Supposed to get up to 48 today, but only 25 right now, so the boiler has been churning. Into the 50s the next two days, which should be nice.

I drove Honda Odysseys for almost 15 years until I purchased this 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. I wish I had switched sooner. It drives much better, has all the bells and whistles, and is cheaper than the Odyssey.

I should have walked away from the Wordle today. I made two completely inane guesses and now I have 3 choices for my final guess. Pretty sure my 17-day streak has come to an end. Wish me luck.

I think I've used seat warmers in the cars I've had maybe half a dozen times. Never used the steering wheel warmer. Seat AC however...

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 20, the 51st day of 2024.
There are 315 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Feb. 20, 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth as he flew aboard Project Mercury’s Friendship 7 spacecraft, which circled the globe three times in a flight lasting 4 hours, 55 minutes and 23 seconds before splashing down safely in the Atlantic Ocean 800 miles southeast of Bermuda.
On this date:
In 1792, President George Washington signed an act creating the United States Post Office Department.
In 1862, William Wallace Lincoln, the 11-year-old son of President Abraham Lincoln and first lady Mary Todd Lincoln, died at the White House, apparently of typhoid fever.
In 1905, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, upheld, 7-2, compulsory vaccination laws intended to protect the public’s health.
In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt signed an immigration act which excluded “idiots, imbeciles, feebleminded persons, epileptics, insane persons” from being admitted to the United States.
In 1933, Congress proposed the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to repeal Prohibition.
In 1938, Anthony Eden resigned as British foreign secretary following Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s decision to negotiate with Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
In 1965, America’s Ranger 8 spacecraft crashed on the moon, as planned, after sending back thousands of pictures of the lunar surface.
In 1987, a bomb left by Unabomber Ted Kaczynski exploded behind a computer store in Salt Lake City, seriously injuring store owner Gary Wright.
In 1998, Tara Lipinski of the U.S. won the ladies’ figure skating gold medal at the Nagano (NAH’-guh-noh) Olympics; Michelle Kwan won the silver.
In 2003, a fire sparked by pyrotechnics broke out during a concert by the group Great White at The Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island, killing 100 people and injuring about 200 others.
In 2005, death claimed actor Sandra Dee at age 62; musical actor John Raitt at age 88; and counterculture writer Hunter S. Thompson at age 67.
In 2020, a poll by the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found more Americans expressing some concern about catching the flu than about catching the coronavirus.
In 2021, Naomi Osaka won her fourth Grand Slam trophy by pulling away to beat Jennifer Brady 6-4, 6-3 in the Australian Open final.

Yep. Same here. Seat warmers are on.
I think I've used seat warmers in the cars I've had maybe half a dozen times. Never used the steering wheel warmer. Seat AC however...
I like the steering wheel warmer because I don't like to wear gloves. If I remote start my car and it is below freezing, both the seat and steering wheel turn on automatically.

Never did that remote start either. Is that a bell or a whistle?

Didn't think I'd use it but I do. I consider it a whistle.

Flipping through a Sis catalog that came today, and I see that AB has a stick called Post Embargo. An interesting choice for a name that describes almost every cigar on the market. Almost as bad as Caldwell's Who The Fuck Cares or whatever it was.

Can't remember the last time I actually looked through on of the catalogs...usually just right into recycling.

Yeah, me too.
Edit: I used to look so forward to getting them. I'd read the thing cover to cover. I also used to buy a lot of shit.

I look through them more to see if there are any new cigars being offered I haven't seen before. Doesn't usually take me long to leaf through them.
