Being loud keeps you warm.

A full moon.
Beautiful,
but also very similar to a big zero in the sky.
Keeping you informed on exactly how warm it is not.
Really.
Zero degrees.
Feeling like "up?" to -20 with the windchill tonight.



Albie Rock is hunkered down in the guest room under a pile of blankets.
He's about 4 degrees away from starting a bonfire (inside) to stay toasty while he sleeps.
That's probably still safer than the space heater, since the wiring in this house was (re)done by a drunk plumber.
Who left the old wiring still up, in case I wanted to see what old wiring looked like.
I did, just not in my house, looking dangerous.

Anyway...
Visits and visitors are what's up.
Coming from somewhere else,
bringing suitcases of ideas to my house.

Albie has brought the thunder, for sure.
And the bad weather that goes along with it.
Big story-telling tattoo sessions have been happening.
You don't have to join in.
You could play on your phone or play it cool.
You'll still have the tattoo in the end.

I did this viking helmet on a walk-in today.
He says his ancestors were some armed and ruthless viking people.
I believe him,
since he has a big neck scar from getting a tattoo cut off,
just so he was able to shoot guns in other people's homelands.
Doesn't matter how far the apple falls from the tree,
it's seeds still grow more apple trees.
