Wait a minute. Rufus just joined the old fuddie duddie club known as retirement and sitting in his rocking chair drinking a dark ale...

Just? Well, okay maybe..... Retired now over a year, but with 2 side jobs still. Recliner by the fireplace, thank you, under a good reading lamp. But for reasons unknown I've been favoring red wine of late,

Since red wine has way more alcohol than dark ale, one needs to be careful while reading and drinking as one might find themselves sound asleep. That's what it does to me.

The stouts that I usually drink are ~14% which is just about where red wine tends to be and a bottle is a lot more than the glass I use for wine. And, if I fall asleep in the recliner by the fire....................wait, isn't that part of retirement,

I had a 15% Imperial Stout from Other Half the other week. They made it taste like it was 7%. Dangerous. https://untappd.com/b/other-half-brewin ... es/2986255

As a side job at work since I'm really into craft beer, I'm now in charge of the draft beer selection at work. Unfortunately can't get anything that insane. The office mostly likes IPA's.

The latest sceinterrific research says red wine is good for you.

That's been old news for a long time, but as I recall to get the real benefits of the good components you need to drink enough to also qualify you as a binge drinking alcoholic

The "dusting" today has been going on all morning and is now scheduled to last all day; 24 degrees and the ground is frozen, so today's snow will be here tomorrow.

Going to to 50's nearly 60 next week. More roller-coaster weather.

Concerning the recent weather, I was stunned to learn on the News today that this healthy, strong young man, an 18 yr old, died outside his dorm in Iowa, in the -54 degree temps. How does a healthy man like this die out in the cold - how does he let himself get into such a predicament? I cannot imagine. Awful. What a horrible waste. And there was no alcohol in his system, BTW. .

More than 20 died due to the weather this past week.

Just before 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Punxsutawney (puhnk-suh-TAW’-nee) Phil emerged from his burrow in Pennsylvania at sunrise and didn’t see his shadow. Nearly the same series of events unfolded about 300 miles (483 kilometers) to the east, where Staten Island Chuck’s handlers also revealed the same prediction.

It may be hard to believe as a large swath of the U.S. thaws out from a bitter polar vortex, but spring is coming early, according to handlers for some of the country’s most famous prognosticating groundhogs.

I hope Spring comes soon. I sure could use some sunshine and warmth.

Phil has had ~39% chance of being right; you can do better by flipping a coin.

Was 9 degrees here this week and will be nearly 60 next week.

Let's see. Six weeks after Groundhog day is the middle of March.
When does spring begin? Close to that six more weeks of winter stuff'
It works out.
