RISKY OLD GEEZER BUSINESS

Yesterday I could have and should have done my laundry. But I didn't feel like it. It was too cold. So I'll pong a bit for the duration. Instead I had a long comfy tea-time with cookies and a pipe, inside the apartment. I doubt that my apartment mate will notice, as a few windows were open, I had cooked a bit, she has a lousy sense of smell, the smoke was finished well before she came home, and in any case the tail of the flu will have buggered up her nose.

The greatest risk is when there is no difference between the temperatures inside and outside, as there will then be quite minimal exchanges of air.

So, to reiterate: Trim Dutch American fellow, strong cup of tea, aged Virginia tobacco, Dunhill Shellbriar of a pleasing shape from before Dunhill ceased being Dunhill, and cookies.


One happy cold camper.

Pleasedly cursing the outside temperatures, the weather in general, the entire Republican Party whose fault everything is and especially the tacky Christian wing who are anything but actually Christian, blonde influencers, has-been rockers, pick-up truck drivers, large parts of the country, everyone on the Epstein list, Florida and Texas, and the upper echelons of the Federal Gubmint.

Key things to remember: There are no Republicans in this building. Everyone is cold, but in a week or two it will be quite different. Rain is something that a Dutchman should be used to, darnit. If the tobacco was Presbyterian the smell would linger and she would tell me to go smoke that putrid crap down at the abandoned church with the bums and raccoons. Presbyterian is a mighty fine mixture, by the way. An overload of stinky Turk.

The cookies were excellent.

Think happy forest creature, Wind In The Willows, cosy den, twiddly toes.



You know, it's colder on Neptune's moons right now.

Those darn Republicans.
