How many inches are YOU seeing this morning?
That question is intended only for people who are seeing snow. Although I suppose on Tumblr, there can be many interpretations not appropriate for children.

Super Bowl Snowstorm? One Model Suggests Something ‘Major’ On Way
Don’t worry. At least not yet. But one early weather projection is taking shape for Super Bowl weekend — and it doesn’t look good.
RUH ROH…
Maybe Chris Christie can threaten the snow and block it with his mighty flubber.
Super Bowl Snowstorm? One Model Suggests Something ‘Major’ On Way
A boy named Francis
Clyde Lewis asked an interesting and thought provoking question on his radio program, Ground Zero, last night.
By now you may have heard about the nun who gave birth. She was rushed to the hospital with stomach pains, and a bit later was giving birth to a boy that she named Francis.. The nun, who has not been named in any media, plans on keeping the child. All involved with the story seem shocked that she had a child..
Named Francis.
While many have laughed and scoffed at the notion that a woman would not know she was pregnant, consider this, as Clyde Lewis spoke about last night: In recent years, there have been at least 45 self-reported sexless pregnancies. The HUFFINGTON POST, however, does mention that there are pitfalls in ‘self reported’ information.. Can these virgin birth reports truly be trusted when people, themselves, are claiming them?
While the reports may indicate shame or the result of an ultra religious background, it highlights the possibilities of Parthenogenesis—a medical term for asexual reproduction. There have been no valid claims of human beings experiencing asexual reproduction, as a matter of fact, a study proved a South Korean woman claiming it to have been a fraud in 2007.
But what Clyde Lewis was trying to illustrate, more than anything, is the fierce backlash that this nun has experienced online in comparison to Jesus Christ. After all, religious people have been the first to line up and call the nun a whore, slut, and any other derogatory term to describe women who aren’t chaste. But at the same time, those Christians would line up at Sunday mass each week and worship the notion that Mary had a virgin birth that led the world have a savior, Jesus Christ.
Maybe Mary was the true first and last human who experienced parthenogenesis? Or maybe something was lost in translation and ‘virgin’ was really maiden. Christian Doctrine even says that Mary was the perpetual virgin, remaining one even after having Jesus (and probably other children, too) .. The feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary is not about Jesus, but about Mary’s own mother. Christian belief holds the notion that Mary’s mother’s womb was clean of original sin, thus allowing Mary to be born a perpetual virgin and never having to have ‘relations with a man’ to conceive. While there may be other religions besides Catholicism that hold some sort of belief on Mary, the main title given to her is Virgin. It relates to long held beliefs that sex was unclean and that women should not enjoy it..
Fast forward to now.. a nun claiming a virgin birth—perhaps a miracle—and naming the child Francis after the Pope. How strange.. how weird. How miraculous?
The first thing I thought of when I heard the story of the nun was the movie with Demi Moore the SEVENTH SIGN. It didn’t take long for me to also recall that a famed horror movie icon, Freddy Krueger, was born from a nun.. In the story of Fred, Amanda Krueger, his mom, devoted her to life to God as a nun.. Also Robert Englund played Freddy in NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5, which was named the Dream Child.
We celebrate miracles from bible times. We still hold up traditions from 2000 years ago. We worship Jesus without hard evidence, but ignore Horus. And many still have a concept that Mary did not have sex to get impregnated. But we condemn a nun who claims the same…
I have a Christian friend who literally believes the Bible—yes, she even believes that the earth is 6,000 or so years old and that dinosaurs never lived after the great Noah flood. I asked her about Mary’s virginity.. I told her my theory, that the only way in my head a virgin birth made sense, was if an alien impregnated Mary with artificial sperm. And that Jesus was an alien. I even spiced it up and said that the great flood happened on Mars and Noah flew a space ship to earth. She paused at that one. And then scoffed.
It comes down to faith. I have faith. I believe God is a combination of math, electricity, and energy.
As far as a virgin birth? I believe anything can be possible but perhaps not probable.
But condemning a nun for claiming it but worshiping a woman from ages ago for being credited with it? That part is where I find people to get a little.. well.. hypocritical.

Life in the fast lane..
There are times when God makes himself quite evident. This morning, as the sun began shining over the mountain near my home base, I flipped on the TEE VEE only to discover that Justin Bieber was arrested for drag racing—and he failed a DUI test.
NBC NEWS 6 in South Florida has some information on their channel.. He was in a rented Lamborghini when it all went down. Accroding to reports, the Beebs was spotted in different places around Miami in the past few days..
But as things go, and as fate evolves, life grows darker for the manchild. He now finds himself in custody..
Will he still keep up the act? Will he have that deranged tough boy accent? Will he walk hunched over like an ape? Will he laugh, and smile, and wink at the camera as his mug shot is snapped? Or will he became Justin Bieber minus the fame and fortune? Will he snap into the reality that once was pre-stardom? Will he just be Justin?
I think too much programming and self induced mind control has occurred him ever to just be a kid named Justin again. He’s Bieber. With a fever.
In jail.

Deep Freeze in Midwest, Northeast to Be Prolonged
It’s going to get miserably cold again. This time it will be colder for a longer period of time.
I already heard the reports that propane gas is going up about $200 a fill.. I burn coal.. haven’t heard about that yet. Nonetheless, when it’s 100 in July we’ll laugh about -5. Maybe.

A 'tsunami' of store closings expected to hit retail
CNBC: Get ready for the next era in retail, one that will be characterized by far fewer shops and smaller store footprints.
There are three or four malls within a 40 mile square radius of Coal Speaker home base that are practically empty.. Malls try their best to hide empty stores with decoration and advertisements, but there are barren spots. Too many..
I recall those wonderful days of fall, back in the 1980s and 90s when malls were busy.. Internet came and shut it all down.
I know I actively take part in the current day Internet fad. But I will miss stores. I will miss malls. I will miss places like that.
We all will.
It would seem the economy is about to get a big hit this year.. if CNBC is right, a lot of places you shop at (or don’t?) are about to close doors. JC Pennys was first. Who’s next?
