As one Nor’Easter ends.. watch out or this..
Models are starting to show a dynamic upper level trough that enters the Eastern Great Lakes, dives to the Mid Atlantic states and moves northeastward from there spawning an East Coast snowstorm around January 29 or so…
Right now the models are southeast of the region with snowfall, but the trends have been to sharpen the trough up more and more and then bring the storm closer to the coastline. New England is favored over Washington DC.
all up in the air.. Worth watching..
Watching it closely..

This is the ultimate insult to injury.. Plants vs Zombies Garden...
This is the ultimate insult to injury.. Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare 2 has fast become my son’s favorite game.. and somewhat mine. But lately it’s been awful, just awful.. Every time the game gets good, we get booted. And this annoying “unable to connect to EA servers” warning comes up.
I am curious if anyone else had the same issue? I know there are ‘fixes’ online–all of which thus far have yet to ‘fix’ the issue for us..
It’s getting painful, though..
If anyone out there has a real true fix to the problem, please send it to me.. let me know.. Until then, the plants and zombies fight without me or Ayden helping..

Trump meets with leaders of building, sheet metal unions
Trump meets with leaders of building, sheet metal unions:
President Donald Trump met Monday at the White House with leaders of construction, carpenters, plumbers and sheet metal unions, the White House said.
According to the White House, participants included North America’s Building Trades Unions President Sean McGarvey, Laborers’ International Union of North America President Terry O'Sullivan, SMART sheet metal workers’ union President Joseph Sellers, United Brotherhood of Carpenters President Doug McCarron and Mark McManus, president of the United Association that represents plumbers, pipefitters, welders and others.
Trump Abandons Trans-Pacific Partnership, Obama’s Signature Trade Deal
Trump Abandons Trans-Pacific Partnership, Obama’s Signature Trade Deal:
From the NEW YORK TIMES:
President Trump formally abandoned the Trans-Pacific Partnership on Monday, pulling away from Asia and scrapping his predecessor’s most significant trade deal on his first full weekday in office, administration officials said.
Mr. Trump sharply criticized the partnership agreement during last year’s campaign, calling it a bad deal for American workers. Although the deal had not been approved by Congress, the decision to withdraw the American signature at the start of Mr. Trump’s administration is a signal that he plans to follow through on promises to take a more aggressive stance against foreign competitors.
In other action on a busy opening day, Mr. Trump ordered a hiring freeze in the federal work force, exempting the military. And he reinstituted limits on nongovernmental organizations that operate overseas and receive American taxpayer money from performing abortions. Republican presidents typically impose those restrictions soon after taking office, and Democratic presidents typically lift them when they take over.
The president’s withdrawal from the Asian-Pacific trade pact amounted to a drastic reversal of decades of economic policy in which presidents of both parties have lowered trade barriers and expanded ties around the world. Although candidates have often criticized trade deals on the campaign trail, those who made it to the White House, including President Barack Obama, ended up extending their reach.

"Comedy" in the Trump era
There is no doubt that comedy, irony, and lampoonery is the soundest of principles to keep power in check.. Donald Trump deserves every bit of it as would any leader or public official who makes decisions that need to be held up to the light of day.
But that said...
There are some troubling things.
A SNL writer Tweeted this weekend that Barron Trump, the President's 10-year-old son, would be the first 'home school shooter.' He is not even home schooled by the way. And now just this:
A Comedy Central writer called Barron a "date rapist to be." It did not stop there.
A little disgusting.
The same way it was when former President Obama's daughters were initially targeted by some members of the media .. the President at that time said his family was off limits. Trump needs to do the same -- but not sure if many will listen.
Right now is one of the nastiest times for the internet I can recall.. I recoil at my Facebook newsfeed.. I shield myself from Twitter.. I try to look away and find solace in the non-political. But these days so many things come back to politics.. Just about everything as a matter of fact.
Unification seems to far away. President Trump may be judged according to his policies and actions, however the initial criticism seems to be getting way too personal.. too cruel.. and to direct to his son Barron.
Barron is a 10-year-old. He is not fair game, it's not cool or proper to think he is. And yes, there will be a continuous flow of Tweets and media commentary destroying his life.. Nothing said in response will stop the rudeness or rottenness...
...decency in decay on the information superhighway...

A Comedy Central writer called Barron a "date rapist to be." It did not stop there.
Comedy Central writer Stephen Spinola is under fire for tweeting that President Trump’s 10-year-old son Barron Trump is a “date rapist to be”.
In a since deleted tweet, Spinola joked, “Barron Trump looks like a very handsome date-rapist-to-be.”
He followed it up with another tweet that said, “I don’t want my Mom to get raped, but if she does I hope it’s by Barron Trump – small pp would be painless & we’d win lots of money in court.”
After receiving a deluge of criticism, Spinola proceeded to complain about people on Twitter being abusive to him.
A little disgusting.

As positive a mantra as you can get to start a rainy workweek.....
As positive a mantra as you can get to start a rainy workweek.. a rainy day.. and a day filled with the joy and might that life can bring, along with the pains and surprise tribulations it can so often equally contain.
May your day be bright and cheery even if your skies are not.
You are alive, after all. If you are reading it.
If not, you found your path to the other side.
And for those in between, smile and eat some fruit. It will do a body good.

ALL domestic United Airlines flights GROUNDED!
All– I said ALL!– United Airlines domestic flights grounded by computer outage:
All of United Airlines’ domestic flights were grounded Sunday night because of a computer outage, the Federal Aviation Administration said as scores of angry travelers sounded off on social media.
International flights weren’t affected by the ground stop, which the FAA said was issued at United’s request.
The ground stop initially was scheduled to end at 8 p.m., but United tweeted at 8:06 that it was still “working on a resolution.” The FAA later extended the ground stop to 9 p.m. ET.
