Yes, it's winter. Where I live, today, we're expecting a top temp of 13 Celsius (55 Fahrenheit), and overnight lows recently have been below freezing. We don't get snow here, but there's snow on the nearby mountains and the wind coming off those is bitter.

I don't like the cold, and I tend to spend all winter complaining and wanting to hibernate.

Come up to Hawaii, it's right about 30 with a nice breeze.

I'd love to, Jay, but there are just a few small problems with that plan. (I mean, Covid means I can't even move freely in Australia, let alone leave the country...)

Where I live our winters can get -60 (wind-chill). As a teenager I worked outside and used to spend 8 hours a day in those conditions. My eyelashes would constantly stick together.

I can't even send you a box of warm air through the post due to quarantine procedures. It would cool down before you could open it.

I do find it horrifying how much some people deteriorate during their mid to late 30s. Some of them even look like they're pushing 60.

It's not the year, it's the mileage.

For good or for worst, memories are what keep me going,

pretty much certain.

Happy days.

Also,

Germany is referred to as "Fatherland"

Russia as "Motherland".

Wonder why?

Paidiske · Jun 10, 2021

I wonder whether "land" itself has a different gender in German and Russian? Having never studied either, I can offer no insight!

Nor me either.

What caused me to think of it was,

was thinking of this song,

have been fascinated by it for a long time,

at 1:17 and 2:05 are two notable pieces.

I think it shows that in spite of outer circumstances,

there comes a point in time when the natural soul caves in
for something more powerful.

Anyhow, thinking of this song and Fatherland made me stop and, hold on a minute, Russians sing of their Motherland.

I have noticed the same. I have also had slow traffic, but that just could be the 4 areas I am currently allowed to post in aren't really busy.

Paidiske · Jun 18, 2021

I haven't noticed it being slow to load, but other side of the world and all that.

I agree the contentious debates seem to have slowed for a few days, but that can sometimes feel like a welcome reprieve. Especially when life is busy!

Someone gave me a hot pepper to eat at work.. I did.. wow.. that hurt.. not so much my tongue but my throat. I almost threw up. My stomach hurt for the rest of the day too. Never eating a hot pepper while wearing a mask ever again.

I like impactful flavors but not spicy foods. Been eating a lot of barbecue lately.

Paidiske · Jun 28, 2021

I like spicy food (my mother is Mauritian, after all) but not necessarily all the time.

Right now I have a mushroom bourguignon in the slow cooker, and the house smells amazing!

Paidiske · Jun 28, 2021

How hot does a heat wave get where you are, MMXX?

I just ate a cheap frozen burrito.
