Tuesday Fat Jokes Day

One of the detriments of online learning, you still have to go to class while everyone else in the area is off. A little surprised they haven't called it off, since they did last time there was a big storm that shut everyone else down.

I was very surprised they did that the last time. My one daughter's high school did it too on a day that we were expecting a lot and then hardly any fell.

Good morning, Dave.

Morning, Tony. Hopefully, the kids don't find out everyone else got the day off and they got hosed.

My kids are actually off the whole week. Our district consolidated Presidents' Day with Columbus, Veterans, MLK Jr., and something else that eludes me at the moment.

Glad I don't have anywhere to be right now. Give the plows all day to do their thing before I even think about venturing out for Takeout Tuesday later.

Calling for a couple more inches this morning, and it's coming down pretty good right now, so we'll see. The wife also wants to go get a new cell phone, but that one might have to wait until another day.

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 16, the 47th day of 2021.
There are 318 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Feb. 16, 1959, Fidel Castro became premier of Cuba a month and a-half after the overthrow of Fulgencio Batista.
On this date:
In 1862, the Civil War Battle of Fort Donelson in Tennessee ended as some 12,000 Confederate soldiers surrendered; Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s victory earned him the moniker “Unconditional Surrender Grant.”
In 1868, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was organized in New York City.
In 1945, American troops landed on the island of Corregidor in the Philippines during World War II.
In 1948, N-B-C T-V began airing its first nightly newscast, “The Camel Newsreel Theatre,” which consisted of Fox Movietone newsreels.
In 1960, the nuclear-powered radar picket submarine USS Triton departed New London, Conn., on the first submerged circumnavigation by a vessel.
In 1961, the United States launched the Explorer 9 satellite.
In 1968, the nation’s first 911 emergency telephone system was inaugurated in Haleyville, Alabama, as the speaker of the Alabama House, Rankin Fite, placed a call from the mayor’s office in City Hall to a red telephone at the police station (also located in City Hall) that was answered by U.S. Rep. Tom Bevill.
In 1996, eleven people were killed in a fiery collision between an Amtrak passenger train and a Maryland commuter train in Silver Spring, Md.
In 1998, a China Airlines Airbus A300 trying to land in fog near Taipei, Taiwan, crashed, killing all 196 people on board, plus seven on the ground.
In 2001, the United States and Britain staged air strikes against radar stations and air defense command centers in Iraq.
In 2006, Russia’s Evgeni Plushenko beat world champion Stephane Lambiel of Switzerland by 27.12 points to win the gold medal in men’s figure skating at the Winter Games in Turin, Italy.
In 2019, the Vatican announced that former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who served as archbishop of Washington, D.C., had been found guilty by the Vatican of sex abuse and had been defrocked; McCarrick was the highest-ranking churchman and the first cardinal to face that punishment as the church dealt with clerical sex abuse.

Ten years ago: Bookstore chain Borders filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and said it would close nearly a third of its stores. (Borders closed all of its remaining stores in Sept. 2011.) Huge crowds called for a political overhaul in Bahrain, and leaders appeared to shift tactics after attempts to crush the uprising stoked protesters’ rage.
Five years ago: Former U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, 93, died in Cairo. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s courtroom chair was draped in black to mark his death, a tradition dating to the 19th century. The Czech Museum of Music presented a cantata, “A Salute to the Recuperating Ophelia,” a rare piece of music written in three parts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Antonio Salieri and an unknown composer, Cornetti, that was considered lost for more than 200 years. CJ the German shorthaired pointer won best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club.
One year ago: Hundreds of Americans from a quarantined cruise ship in Japan took charter flights home, as Japan announced that another 70 coronavirus infections had been confirmed on the ship. The Chinese province of Hubei, the epicenter of the virus, announced that vehicle traffic would be banned, with some exceptions. Anthony Davis made a game-ending free throw to give Team LeBron a 157-155 win over Team Giannis in the revamped NBA All-Star Game.

Well, y'all think you're better than the rest of the country, so you get the blame too. Suck it up, buttercup.
Oh, and it's Tuesday! GFY.

Have a tough commute in from the bedroom to the living room?
Frigid conditions between there and here. The warden controls the programming of the thermostat, and the heater hasn't come on yet. So there was frost on the marble bottom of the stairs. Fortunately, the family room has a gas fireplace on a separate thermostat. Just about getting toasty now.

Didn't the Mayans supposedly predict the world would end in 2012? Maybe we just translated those last 2 digits backwards. Like how we write month/day/year, but practically everyone else does day/month/year.

Sounds like you're backing out on that one as well today. :P

You ought to put that out there on social media. I believe there are a lot of folks that would believe it.

And with that, page 3!
And shower for me.

I just don't want both of us going out in shitty weather and leave the kids home by themselves. That's a story you'd see on the news if something happened to both of us while we were out. If the weather clears and the roads are fine, then saddle up.

Those people are fragile enough as it is, no sense stressing their cognitive abilities any more than they already are.

A solid start to the day. Meanwhile, after I'm done working, I'll be shoveling a heap of snow. >:( >:(

We were spared this particular storm. Expecting 6-8 more inches on Thursday though.

This snow I got was heavy stuff. The snowblower got a workout and I have a big machine.
