Tall Burger, Sena Style
Sena made tall burgers for lunch today. Now, I know you have to be careful what you call a tall burger when it comes to questions about how tall is tall. What do you mean by “tall”? We’ve all seen pictures on the web of tall burgers that are 4 feet and better in height…

So, Is This Anything?
We used to watch David Letterman a long time ago and he had this sketch called “Is this Anything?” I can’t remember any specific example but I thought I recognized a YouTube of one segment that was originally aired years ago. I was reminded of the “Is This Anything” sketch when Sena showed me this…

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome in the News Lately
I’ve seen a few articles about Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) and because my funny bone is sensitive to provocative titles, I first read the one with the title that starts off with “I still partly think this is bullshit…” My reference list resulting from a quick search is below. Of course, I don’t think CHS…

Starlings and More!
Sena got a video of a large flock of birds flying around in the outlot beyond our backyard. We thought they were all starlings, but I couldn’t focus enough on individual birds to tell for sure if there were other species mixed in with them.

Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” Well, I watched the Svengoolie movie, “Devil Doll” last night and was that creepy!

The Snow Looked Gentle This Morning
The snowfall this morning looked pretty gentle out in our backyard—and then the storm hit the gas. Around 7:30 a.m. the wind was barely blowing and the first snow looked slow. A half hour later, it was blowing sideways and the plow had just plugged our driveway (Thank you so much!). Across the street, kids…

Snow Storm vs Electric Snow Shovel: The Rematch!
Well, now that we’re getting this big snowstorm, this will be the second season Sena breaks out the Voltask battery-powered 48V 16-inch snow shovel! It’s up to the task! I manned the snow plow shovel as usual-but Sena deserves all the glory. We got outside around 8:00 a.m. and finished up at 10:00 a.m. It’s…

Snowstorm Barreling Toward Iowa!
We’re going to get about a foot of snow starting tonight according to the weather report. There are webcams about Iowa that will document the storm, which will occur across most of the state. We’ve charged up the batteries in the Voltask electric snow shovel, which got quite a workout last winter. We took videos…
