Eleven

I'm not sure what more the county could have done, but the city's response has been ridiculously poor.

USA plays at 4 ET correct?

Somehow I don't think so

So out of complete boredom last night, and because I kept seeing the same two generic SUVs heading up and down the street, I checked to see if Uber was running in Buffalo. Sure enough, I could get a ride to bars on Elmwood if I wanted to. (I stayed in.) Operating right under the driving ban.

There are pictures floating around of them digging out their cars at Prior Aviation.

You have an interesting definition of fun. You must be friends with the gal I dated back in 2001 or so.

Love ya bud.

OK. I'll try a couple of lines: Merry Christmas everone Except Taro, screw you

There are at least two unconfirmable theories connecting Christmas with Saturnalia (which is improperly named because it was the festival of the Mediterranean sun god and not Saturn)--either or neither may be correct. But when was the first recorded Christmas celebration?

No, they don't. They did an excellent job of running the football *against the Chicago Bears.* It was a nice win and one with little to complain about, but they're not going to be able to run like that over an average NFL team.

His post qualifies as my Christmas poem.

Dammit Sunshine that wasn't the wind.

I meant the Bills D. Looks like they weren't quite ready.

Someone told them that it's a noon CT start, not 3pm, right?

Also, did someone tell this guy about the travel ban? https://www.noradsanta.org/en/map

For the Catholics out there--this is the official message from Bp. Fisher: Many areas of Western New York are facing heavy snowfalls and drifting along with extremely high winds, bitter wind chills, and power outages. These are dangerous and life-threatening conditions. Please respect the travel bans in our communities. Although it is Christmas, in these dangerous conditions, no one should put themselves or others at risk. This Christmas, I have asked those parishes who have live stream capabilities to live stream their Christmas Masses. Do not attempt to attend Masses in person. Use the live stream technology to spiritually connect with others in prayer as we celebrate the birth of Christ. Also, please check on neighbors who may be in need. I wish all a Blessed and Safe Christmas, especially our first responders, utility workers, hospital workers, and all those serving our communities during this historic storm.

So my air bnb has a digital antenna. This is my first experience with one. Maybe it's the storm, but this SUX. I'll be finding a stream for sure.

This is the main problem that I'm reading about. People need to stay home and not put further stress on the system. Even if it means missing Christmas with family--which is my current state of affairs, although my parents have been informed that any more illicit grocery trips will result in legal action.

I am not kidding...I am seriously pissed off at my parents, one of whom is mentally handicapped, the other of whom is physically handicapped, for driving to Dash's today even though they have everything a person possibly could need at home. It really did take them 30 mins to drive back seven blocks. I need to vent and this is where I'm doing it. It's like dealing with two toddlers but with driver licenses, I've rearranged my life to care for these two, and I'm pissed off.

(I had. It was a joke.)

My parents apparently are being jackasses and went to the supermarket even though they NEED nothing. They have enough food, TP, soap, etc. for weeks. Thanks to God they got back home. It took them 30 minutes to drive seven blocks home from the market. I'm one step away from applying for a freaking guardianship. Is that what we're calling it now?

It doesn't matter whether it was new or old. It still was snow and it still got in the way of living normally.

We sledded off of the roof of our house. Small one-storey house, but still.

Well yeah. Except BC, right? More brown people there? This is a made up word.
