Good morning from So. Central Wisconsin where the polar vortexing has begun! It was an actual +1f degrees and 0 real feel at 4:30am. At 7am it is -2f actual temperature with the real feel at -9. Or has it? High later today will be +7 with real feelings of -11. Sorry but those while cold are not vortex temperatures. Nor are they dangerously cold to us Midwestern and Northern states dwellers. More hype
Yesterday, 2 of our former employees came over to say good bye. After 30+ years living in Wisconsin and Naturilized citizens they have decided to immigrate to Mexico. They have 2 nephews that came here 5 years ago but never renewed their work visas (never worked for us) and probably are on the 1st list in Chicago to be deported. So they are going back. Our 1st 2 employees as part of the property management company they have saved and invested very well. Hopefully they will live very well but are concerned if the Social Security will actually send them the money monthly. They have been thinking about this since the last Presidential campaign cycle began. The 2 of them and the 2 nephews who came up from Chicago 2 weeks ago are leaving today. They have a couple pickups with large trailers to haul stuff back. Terry and I will miss them…
I watched a part of the AFC game yesterday. I am not a conspiracy follower but damn some of those referee calls seemed funny against Houston. I did not watch even 1 play of Lions/Washington. Good for Washington though.
Because the world via a polar vortex was ending today, 2 of the grandson’s hockey games today at home were cancelled. I have not checked the local school district website to see if classes for Monday were cancelled.
TROY, the convention at Novi is supposed to be the first of the new and improved more affordable version of the NMRA. I understand the last few were super expensive for attendees, exhibitors and the shows not the best attended. So they are getting away from big city expensive convention centers. Have fun! I thought of going but a 5 hour drive is too far for a day trip (2.5 hour max) and the last time we overnighted (16 months) near Ann Arbor/Detroit the car was stolen!
THOUGHTS! I believe Inauguration Day should be a federal holiday to celebrate. I also feel the presidential Election Day should be a federal holiday. Doesn’t matter who you voted for but those 2 days are symbols of our democracy and should be days to celebrate. All non-esstential workers should have off! Finding a definition of a essential worker though would be a great debate and a fun event for the media
TIXTOX—I’ve never been on it but I believe in freedom of speech and so what if the Chinese own it. The 5 replacement APPS that supposedly people will be changing to are also Chinese. Facebook/Meta/Safari/Microsoft, etc… probably has done more damage to our national security than TixTox
The new fun 4 years begin tomorrow, enjoy if you can
