Regarding yesterday's Strands, I was using hints to come up with stuff, then finally gave up and just looked up the answer. The difficulty of that one really came out of nowhere.

Let me tell you, even after taking the hints, I still struggled to figure out what order to put the letters in. I understand it all now, but I would never have gotten it on my own. You would have had to have been a language professor to know what all those symbols are called.

Agreed. The point I gave up was when I used a hint and still couldn't figure out the word. :D

I looked it up last night, before bed. I had given up but I had to know what the answers were.

We also got some snow last night, but not enough to stick. Not many leaves up in the trees. Winter is here.
-
Working remotely today. Lots to get done and commuting is just gonna eat up too much time. Plus I have an after work engagement that requires me to be local.

I didn't even know this was on the way, but it's pretty nasty out there. Most of the area is closed today. Except, of course, for the college. Sheesh.

Our biggest problem at the moment seems to be the wind. It's blowing like a sumbitch out there, not even that much snow on the ground from the looks of it. But I don't think the snowfall machine is done yet.

Even the local county libraries are opening late. Can't ever remember seeing that on the school closing list before.

Today is Thursday, Dec. 5, the 340th day of 2024.
There are 26 days left in the year.
Today in history:
On Dec. 5, 2013, Nelson Mandela, the anti-apartheid leader who became South Africa’s first Black president, died at age 95.
Also on this date:
In 1848, in an address to Congress, President James K. Polk sparked the Gold Rush of ’49 by confirming that gold had been discovered in California.
In 1933, national Prohibition came to an end as Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, repealing the 18th Amendment.
In 1952, the Great Smog of London descended on the British capital; the unusually thick fog, which contained toxic pollutants, lasted five days and was blamed for causing thousands of deaths.
In 1955, the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations merged to form the AFL-CIO under its first president, George Meany.
In 1994, Republicans chose Newt Gingrich to be the first GOP speaker of the House in four decades.
In 2009, a jury in Perugia, Italy, convicted American student Amanda Knox and her former Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, of murdering Knox’s British roommate, Meredith Kercher, and sentenced them to long prison terms. (After a series of back-and-forth rulings, Knox and Sollecito were definitively acquitted in 2015 by Italy’s highest court.)
In 2017, Democratic Congressman John Conyers of Michigan resigned from Congress after a nearly 53-year career, becoming the first Capitol Hill politician to lose his job amid the sexual misconduct allegations sweeping through the nation’s workplaces.
In 2019, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that she had asked the relevant House committee chairs to begin drawing up articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, saying his actions left them “no choice” but to act swiftly. (Trump would be impeached by the House on charges of obstruction and abuse of power, but the Senate voted to acquit in the first of two Trump impeachment trials.)

Good morning, ClemsonDave. Was this an in-person tree lighting or something you saw on TV?

That's what I assumed, but asked just in case. I didn't even realize that they already lit the Rockefeller Center tree. Makes sense since it's already December 5th.

I found one word, but it made no sense with the clue - until I ran across a long word I knew from my study of Biblical languages. That turned out to be the Spangram. Then it all made sense. But I'm rusty on the various types so had to look them up. For me it was brutal. For anyone who didn't get linguistics exposure in college - which is most people since WWII - forget it.

Agreed. The odds on that are pretty low but it seems to happen with some frequency.
