So I took down a poem I just posted but since I fed the feed I feel a responsibility to provide product. That's Olive's ear in sunlight, yesterday. It isn't that I don't like the poem, it's just fuck that. So, a couple of links now, more later (or not), songs later (or not), someone else's poem later (or not). Fuck it, I've not done a post this way, let me flail and fail at it too. Check back through the day. Or not.
One of the multiple clusterfucks in my life right now. I'm pro-student, btw, but I'm the good cop (to my overlords' dismay).
My yard is scheduled to get up to three feet of snow Friday night into Saturday and we're being warned of a paralyzed week with potentially no power and even with power widespread internet/cable outages. Here's one example of how life has changed. Once - up to last year, in fact - the idea of being trapped in my house with no access to leave and no access to wire would have infuriated me. Now I'm, like, please please please.
Here' today's poem, William Carlos Williams' Blizzard.
Just made a HYOOGE pot of veg chili for a similar snowy eventuality. Make sure you have firewood in case of power loss (unless you have a gas furnace). Best!
Years ago I took a community college course for library techs. I then did some volunteer work at the city library. I spoke a lot with the techs working there and I found most of them had two to four jobs as all libraries offered was part time work. And the pay was definitely not great. I liked doing the volunteer work but after talking with the techs I lost my enthusiasm for working in a library. They really seem to take advantage of their part time employees.
1)that's a great looking photo of a feline auricular appendage
2)here in MoCo beyond the beltway i am glad to stay home, but i needs me my electricity - it's our only source of heating (no fireplace, no gas) - our power lines are buried, but we do have outages from time to time - hopefully not this time, or not for very long, at least
