Cold and clear, warming a bit. Or something. Yesterday was chilly all day. I even put on a sweatshirt and long pants. And then avoided going out. It’s nice that it’s sunny and clear though.
Did a few small things during the day. Moved stuff around in the attic and put some stuff away. Did some auction stuff. Ended up not buying anything. W got home and we had dinner. Just an ordinary day, but actually I wouldn’t mind a couple years of ordinary days.
Today I’m starting with a glucose reaction test. No breakfast for me. I will get some black coffee or unsweet tea though. That will suck up my entire morning and start into my afternoon as well. Kids are home from school and will have to amuse themselves.
I suppose the biggest prep of all is being healthy and in good physical condition. Working on it.
Stacking is easy by comparison.

Mornin’ my wife makes it Xmas fruitcake in a similar way to Ken’s mum. Usually creates them in Jan/Feb (they are about 90% fruit), gives them an initial drink of brandy then puts them in a sealed tin. Starting about July/August she feeds them more brandy about once per month, get them out in early December to cover in marzipan, final icing done a week or so before Xmas with the help of the spawn (sadly they are now to grown to get involved which was a nice family tradition.)
Result: the most awesome tasting foodstuff known to man
Mornin’ Norman!
That sounds delicious. Mmm. My late mother did something similar. I have very happy childhood memories of “helping”.
I will not quickly forget the amazing sights and smells of the “Gourmet Shop” where we went to get the fabulous dried fruit and other exotic ingredients for the Christmas baking. Like Alladin’s cave and an oriental bazaar all at once. I still love Muscatel raisins.
Here is a lighter “Oxford Lunch” Fruitcake recipe for those who want to be able to bake and eat their fruitcake today.
Happy Monday, all, and good luck, Nick for your glucose test.
34F, sunny, with blue sky. That’s pretty dang cold.
Normally I’d be eating, but I’ve got to keep my fast for a while yet. I am having unsweetened english breakfast tea, so that’s something. I’m sure it’s an abomination to use the Keurig for tea, but it’s quick and easy.

The DM audience in the UK loves their schadenfreude, especially if it originates in the US.
“Near Disney” isn’t that much of a stretch, but Kissimmee isn’t as close as Davenport aka Pedo Junction.
Lots of creepy a** neightborhoods filled with vacation rentals, and “The Florida Project” shot up and down 192 nearby.
AH another federal holiday. The product of labor unions, educators, and DEI sympathizers to create another day off on a Monday. Thick fog every morning so last Friday the two hour school delay turned into a canceled day and magically made a 3 day weekend a 4. Fog so thick all night everything is wet. Temp is only down to low 40s but high can be upwards of 60 if the fog lifts in time. Not ideal for outside work that needs to be done. Boxes of holiday decorations remain under cover on the patio waiting to be placed in shed.
No school, banking or mail. I should learn to sleep in.
Biscuits and QSR franchise operations don’t mix.
QSR is literally the ticker symbol of Popeye’s parent, RBI.
Waitress! More bread!
The Mouse won’t have a choice about building next to Pedo Junction with any new park.
Even draining the river in the Magic Condom for the “Cars” mud hole ride was less risky than a new park between Coronado Springs and the Davenport Target strip mall, the only buildable land of the right size remining in Florida which The Mouse owns outright.
‘Drive, Baby, Drive!’ Video Reportedly Sparks DOJ Investigation Into Renee Good’s ‘Wife’
https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2026/01/19/doj-reportedly-investigating-rebecca-good-n2198282
Attorney’s for Officer Ross should be filing lawsuits against every politician, every media outlet and every lefty talking head that has called him a murderer.
And another lawsuit that seeks to freeze funds raised for Spouse Ms. Good on the basis that she criminally conspired with her partner to commit assault and attempted murder with a motor vehicle.
A politically correct holiday. When the holiday was announced I was working on a government contract with a company that was black owned. That is how the company got the contract, a 8A firm. We were allowed six paid holidays per the contract. The owner of the company wanted MLK Day and got rid of Veteran’s Day. 50% of the people working on the contract were really pissed. We asked to be given a choice. Nope.
Megyn Kelly did a vid that the “Goods” weren’t legally married. A quick Perplexity inquiry confirmed this with the “Good’s” lawyer confirming they were just partners.
Who had the kid? Maybe adopted and brainwashed, or father dumped because not woke enough, just a sperm donor.
The decedent, Renee Good’s child with second husband, divorced. First husband deceased.
No marriage means Spouse Ms. Good has no legal standing with respect to child. No word on current disposition of child, but father needs to regain custody. Maybe half of $1.5MM raised by GFM will be incentive.

Reparations of $1MM per congregant would be appropriate to send a message that conspiracy to violate constitutional rights and federal law and harass and intimidate a peaceful congregation worshiping in their church will not be tolerated.
And as noted, the feckless idiots running Minnesota will not lift a finger. If a white group stormed a black church for any reason, Walz and Ellison would be fighting each other to get in front of the cameras first to blame the Bad Orange Man.
Lemon flew into MN for this and the background is going to bankrupt him.
I believe that Mr. Good, the children’s father, was deceased; Renee Good was the widow. I have also read that the father’s brother was attempting to gain custody of the children as their only remaining blood relative.

Archaeologists May Have Found the Lost Iron City of the Silk Road [Marsmanda] in the Remote Highlands of Uzbekistan

Beehive furnaces for producing iron.
[Rather rediscovered in Sheffield, England by Benjamin Hunstman in 1742]
Charcoal production destroyed forests for centuries and limited the production of metals and glass until other fuels, particularly coal, were developed. Extensive forestation is not likely at 7000-ft elevation. “Juniper charcoal”is mentioned, but the trees are not known for fast growth and would have been limited. It is likely that charcoal was produced elsewhere and brought in, particularly during later years. Trace element and microscopic analysis of charcoal fragments along with should yield interesting information.
There is no discussion in the article of the local geology or the origin of the iron ore. If the shape of the city was shown by lidar, then it almost certainly revealed the nearby existence of a quarry that provided hematite or some other high-quality iron ore over centuries. Many forms of hematite not only have the characteristic red color but as a primary ore of iron it would have been recognized by technologists of the time.

Back from my testing. They took 32mL in total. And after 14 hours of fasting I got home shaky, weak, and panicked about getting some food in me. Hamburger, PB&J, some cookies, and a Dr Pepper, and I’m starting to feel normal.
FWIW, the glucose did assuage my hunger and seemed to carry me thru the late morning.
There was a lot of napping in between needle sticks.

Congrats ! You are doing great ! To lose weight and keep it off is incredibly hard.
I weighed 263 lbs in 2024 and was seriously looking at diabetes. I dropped to 243 lbs on will power and switching several of my lunches to salads. But I gained back to 252 lbs this morning.
After I find out if the 0.4 cm (0.2 inch) mass in my lung has changed in a couple of weeks, I intend to get a prescription and try out the pill version of Wegovy. I want to weigh 210 again, get back into my 36 inch waist / 34 inch inseam Levis. I have a goal.
I was just reading my last AARP quarterly rag on diabetes and they said that Medicare will pay for GLP-1 drugs for weight loss now. Of course, I am pre diabetic and have been for a long time.
I would like the wife to join me in this as she is over 200 lbs, she was 130 lbs when I married her. But I am still healing from the last time that I mentioned her weight a year ago. I found a picture of my wife at Mom’s house last week of my wife at 45 when she weighed 140 lbs, she was hot. Of course, that was before the breast cancer that changed her life.

Remember that one of Walz unhinged rants warned that ICE was going to come after people in churches. The fact that neither he nor Ellison have anything to say about this live-streamed outrage is a powerful incentive and another data point for invoking the Insurrection Act.

First husband is the one that lied to the press about her being a leftwing nutjob–there’s no way he didn’t know. He has no legal connection to the youngest child, which should be a relief, and neither does Spouse (Common law?) Ms. Good, so hopefully relatives of husband #2 will step forward and petition the court and get him out of the toxic environment in Minnesota.

Early hours of Jan 20th puts CONUS at night.
I’ve seen a lot of new Popeye’s locations built in the last 10 years around Austin, and the same franchisee is behind the effort to establish Tim Horton’s in the region..
In the current distorted interest rate environment in the US, money has to chase riskier returns just to keep up with inflation.
BTW, I haven’t seen any announcements about additional Tim Horton’s locations in Austin.
The latest addition to the very competitive corner at the entrance to our neighborhood is a Panda Express, part of a sizeable expansion effort by the chain up and down the I-35 corridor.

Y’all going on about weighing 250 pounds or so. How did you get so heavy? I mean, sure, some folks are skinny and some folks are chunky and “big boned”. Yeah, yeah, it sort of snacked up on you.
I’m baffled. Not judging. Curious.
I hit 175 a few years ago and felt crummy. So I cut out the orange juice, tomato juice, Nacho Cheese Doritos (and ilk), and the jugs of sweet iced tea. Geeze, when you go to work and can’t button the top button of your 501s, it’s time to change.
Hanging around 145 pushing 150 now. About what I weighed before my motorcycle wreck…. where I dropped to 120 during my month in the hospital. (and no, Ms Nurse, I do not want a enema because I ain’t pooped in almost a month.)
Anyway. I cut out the various flavors of sugar water. No more sodas or gatorade. And most carbs. Dropped 20 pounds in three or four months. Still swill beer, I like the buzz. Still eat bread because I like bread and sandwiches and I feel stupid eating peanut butter with a spoon. And I eat pasta, too.
Pretty much cut all the sugar water and seed oils. Getting off the sugar is real hard.
Fun time in the hospital. I had crutches. It’s like learning how to walk again. So I got the urge. Got on my crutches, got across the room, like ten feet, to the wheelchair and back across the room to the bathroom, back on the crutches and into the bathroom. Ruined it. Like “replace the wall paper”. Back into the chair and back to the bed. Sweating like a pig. And here comes the physical therapist…. I’m soaking wet with sweat… Hey, I had to go, do not go in the bathroom. She scolded me because I might have fallen down. And she was right. And she seemed proud of me, too.
I made Stuff for supper. In the Saladmaster electric skillet. Brown off a pound of hamburger. Season with salt and pepper and garlic and onion powders. Add a can of diced tomatoes. Clean out the fridge and add that half can of Wolf Brand Chili.
More salt. More pepper.
A couple of hands of macaroni. A little more water. Set the temp to simmer. Go sit in the sun on the front porch.
I put a big spoon of the stuff into the dog’s food pots. To cool. Buddy the Beagle acts like it’s some kind of hate crime because I haven’t added dog chow and let him have at it. Penny is like “whatever”.
I suppose I should get a bowl full but I’m not hungry after all the quality control sampling. It will be better tomorrow.

6’1″. XXL bones and frame. Size 12 shoes. Weighed 205 lbs in college with 36 inch waist, could bench press 330 lbs, squat 540 lbs.
Now my shoulders and knees are shot. 40 inch waist. Metabolism is fading away. And I like ice cream and very salty foods.
I was up to 272 lbs back in 2004. Did the South Beach diet and dropped to 232 lbs in five months on sheer will power. Then Thanksgiving occurred.
Y’all going on about weighing 250 pounds or so.
222# here. Just age I think, my diet itself hasn’t changed much in decades, and is pretty normal. If anything I consume fewer calories and eat less fat and sugar and exercise more.
I plateau for years, then there is a step jump. I strongly suspect my attempt at taking doctor prescribed statins was to blame for the 211# → 222# jump last year though, the timing is very close.
Apropos of diets; The only thing I ever ate from Popeye’s was the Jambalaya, and they dropped that a few years back 🙁
It is 00:30 in the night from Monday to Tuesday here. Someone whose WhatsApp updates I can see and who is out in the countryside has just updated their status with a photo of the aurora.

Anyhow. Goodnight!
I’m 5’11”, and I SHOULD weigh about 165. After retiring from the Navy and taking a mostly desk job, I managed to creep up to 240, by which time I felt terrible and looked bloated. So about 6 years ago, I started in on a low-carb diet. Nothing formalized or rigorous, but I cut back on bread and pasta and my favoritest food, pizza. That was the REAL hardship. I didn’t really eliminate anything, but “cut back on” was all it took. Now I’m at 180, feel better and LOOK better. It took a few years, but it was worth it, I think.
I still need to get back down to 165, but that’s only 15 more pounds.
Looked at the weather, looked at the forecast, made chili tonight.
Close quality control as the spices blended.
No adjustments–dead on.
Mexican cheese on top for a bit of mellowing.
The answer to the “how did you get fat” question is: I don’t know, and neither do you.
But we have some good guesses. The first of which is that not everybody is exactly the same. So the weight loss answer is not “eat less and exercise more”. At least, not for everyone.
I was wearing “Chunky” Levi’s in 9th grade. I’ve never been thin.
There’s some emerging science that shows that insulin resistance is a driving force in weight gain. So maybe the answer is “eat different, and maybe exercise a bit”. For a lot of people. There are theories that seed oils, which I call industrial lubricants, aren’t food. The old food pyramid, which I grew up following, is exactly what you’d define to fatten cattle, pigs, and people.
I have become enamored of the low-carb or keto or high protein or carnivore approaches. There is good observational data, and theoretical explanations supporting it. Unfortunately, it’s hard to do that in a household with other people in it. I expect the actual science testing to take years, since there’s no profit for pharma if the answer really is “Eat as much as you want, as long as it contains enough protein and fat and no carbs.”
I also like the various fasting approaches. Many of which center around the same insulin sensitivity issues.
But unless you go the whole daily finger-prick measurement route, you can’t really guarantee keto compliance, and bread and sweets will always be calling you.
One of the positive side effects of the GLP-1 drugs is called “silencing food noise”. That nagging, constant desire to taste, to chew, to swallow.
Which leads to the whole controversial notion of food addiction. I’m a believer.
I was 170 in high school. Wrestled 167 so I was very aware of my weight.* Ended up in the high 190s for a few years, mostly because I was poor and did as much rock climbing as I could, while riding my bicycle everywhere I could. I was really strong during that period, with skinny legs.
Spent a decade living on the road, usually with a generous per diem, a lot of alcohol, and people to eat and drink with as my only vice. At various times got to 235 or maybe a bit more. I look puffy and soft at 235.
Used hard core Atkins to lose from 235 down to 190 for my wedding. Lost the first 20 pounds in 3 weeks. Kept most of it off for another decade of life on the road, mostly avoiding carbs and sugar, mostly keeping with ‘Atkins for life’. The weight did creep back up.
Below 200 I look gaunt. My neck hangs loose and my cheeks are hollow. I know this because about two years ago I started losing weight. 230 to 200 without any real cause. It had me worried because half that was in a couple of months. The rest dropped off despite my moderate efforts to eat more, and to eat more carbs.
Basically, if I stop over eating, I start losing about 3 pounds a week. This was concerning. It’s what I’ve spent the last year and a half chasing.
The change in my B12 intake has had immediate effects and I was steady at around 208 for a week, but I’m back down to 206 today.
We’ve got a hypothesis. New doc is doing the testing. IF I can keep my weight around 208 this week, or if I can ride it down to around 205 and stabilize there, we’ll be able to say the hypothesis might be right.
Somewhere around 200 seems about right for me at this point. That’s no real belly fat, but not quite hollowed out face. Muscle mass is much harder to maintain now that I’m pushing 60 and muscle weighs a lot more than fat. One of the reasons weight is not a great indicator if you are trying to change the shape of your body, especially if you are a physically active girl. You’ll gain weight with exercise…. even if you manage to reduce the fat.
Going low carb is hard. We’re addicted to sugar and carbs. The Induction phase of Atkins is the worst, because it’s trying to break that addiction and the habits that come with it. On the other hand, you see results quickly which is motivating. You have to be hard core though. It doesn’t take much cheating to break you out of ketosis and then all your suffering was for naught.
And while low carb worked for my wife and I, and everyone we know who has REALLY done it, there has to be a lifestyle change along with it or you just yoyo.
Now, somewhat ironically, I have the opposite problem. My wife is not sympathetic btw. Dad was a wasted stick man when he died, even though he was still eating and active. That might be part of my concern…

*family and siblings have always treated me as if I was fat. Jokes about husky pants as a kid, etc. WTF? I wrestled at 167, instead of gaining to the next higher class and then losing down to my class. I had the same waist size from 8th grade thru college.

When we were growing up in the 1960s, half of the people in the country smoked two packs a day and WERE skinny. They also mostly died before 70 of lung cancer, heart attack, or COPD. My grandfather would eat for five minutes, sit back with half his plate uneaten and light up a filter-less camel cigarette. By the time the rest of us were finished, he would smoke 2 or 3 cigarettes.

I wonder…
You don’t suppose that the plan is to honey-trap all the leftists into Minneapolis and then shuck the whole state off to Canada? (looks at map…) Naw.
But if you drew a circle around Minneapolis, a circle around Madison of the same diameter, connected them with parallel tangent lines, extended and gerrymandered a bit on the cheese-end to take in Milwaukee and Chicago, seems to me that there would be three states a lot happier. Maybe Indiana would like to chip Garry into the pot.
If Canada doesn’t want them maybe Denmark?

“Queen Bitch (The Kurtherian Gambit)” by Michael Anderle
https://www.amazon.com/Queen-Kurtherian-Gambit-Michael-Anderle/dp/B0CGGNP498?tag=ttgnet-20/
Book number two of a twenty-one science fiction and paranormal fantasy series. There is also an eleven book follow on series and several other books related to the The Kurtherian Gambit Universe, over 200 books in total. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback self published by the author in 2015 that I bought new on Amazon in 2026. I own the next two books in the series already. The related series are listed at:
https://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?46598
The series is a cross between science fiction and paranormal fantasy. A thousand plus years ago, an alien space ship crash landed in the Baltics. A man, Michael, found the space ship, went inside, and was forever changed into the first vampire using alien nanocytes. However, there were werewolves and werebears already existing on Earth and they still exist.
Michael has sired vampires and they have sired vampires. But only one of the vampire “children” is a daywalker like Michael. And Michael enforces strict rules among the vampires and the weres, no blood drinking, no letting humans know of them, etc. Violators of Michael’s rules face swift termination.
But it has been thousand years since Michael was changed and he now sleeps for years at a time. Michael’s helpers found a young woman named Bethany Anne working for the USA government who is dying of a rare blood disease and Michael took her to the alien space ship to become the second first generation vampire on Earth. Now Bethany Anne is cleaning house of the evil vampires and weres.

“That’s what Elon Musk wrote on X earlier this month, and it’s obviously true. Most people know it.”
“Thirty years ago William F. Buckley banished Peter Brimelow from Con Inc. for saying that immigration was destroying the country. Turns out Brimelow was right.”

Finance hack: Banks reduce costs (like interest) to pay dividends. If they do it well, the stock goes up. So, logically, don’t open a saving account, buy bank stock instead. Choice of bank is critical.
