@TruckDriver Come to Western CO to warm up. About 20F warmer for the low temperature in the mountains. Eastern CO is about the same temperature for the low.

@ParkerTechGuy Hmm. I see a handful of portable toilets at a ski area parking lot or out on a golf course & never thought that could be a problem. But then I make a point to only use them for urine and don't sit down.

@Killer_Mule My cure from way back when was to back up a few inches and then drive forward. Worked fine in stop & go traffic on an icy incline.More recently (okay, maybe 10 years ago) I had a rental car with not enough tread on it (stupid me for not looking). An 18 wheeler had stopped on an incline to put on chains on a 2 lane road and a car coming down. Got stuck. Had to go back down the hill & get up speed to pass when safe....

@stsmith01 I felt like that cleaning the car after the Broncos watch party today. Didn't need the shovel or ice scraper with light fluffy snow but coming down a bit hard & plenty of wind and cold.It would have been brutal at the stadium for hours - was nice and warm inside.

@mrman Just to clarify, that sure looks like a large enclosure to hold some interface circuits to connect a 2TB microSD card to a PC - right?I did a quick search, yeah - 2TB MicroSD cards are sold - like $20 or so retail unless you get an exotic one for $300. Performance is probably pretty ugly.

@carolen In CO, if you are in the office doing the renewal - they will test your eyes regardless of age.If you renew online, you must submit a form if 80 or overhttps://dmv.colorado.gov/renew-your-colorado-driver-license-permit-or-id-card(it is in one of the sub items)The form requires a vision test up to 6 months prior to license renewal. I'm going to have to shift my annual checkup to be closer to my birthday within the next 11 years. Sigh.

@Zennagain Send that snow to Colorado.Despite what you saw in the football game - Denver only got a trace to two inches of snow. Low of 3F and high of 40F today. A bit warmer the rest of the week with no snow.

One tech storyhttps://reason.com/2026/01/26/is-your-wi-fi-router-a-national-security-threat/About TP-Link routers and how they have been hacked by Chinese groups. Suggestions that they will be banned in the US.I've used TP-Link in the past but stopped due to lack of security upgrades a couple years after purchase. That makes it a risk to me. Not mentioned in the story - perhaps why the gear is being hacked.Currently using Netgear - seems to be kept up to date (so far).

The "Midwestern Doctor" writes about deathhttps://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-medicalization-of-death-and-howLOTS of good stuff here. After the introduction, looks at how Scott Adams was treated (more later too). Plus 78yo "Jack" who had explicit do not resuscitate instructions and still got put on "life saving" equipment until she showed up.Other good bits here as well.

From the "Brownstone Institute"https://brownstone.org/articles/insect-loss-as-an-early-warning-of-systemic-biological-failure/Suggesting the use of insect populations as a proxy for determining when the environment is out of whack. Yeah, it MIGHT be climate change but more likely a variety of other issues that should really be addressed.

From "bad cattitude"https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/follow-the-money-not-the-mediaMostly about the situation in MN and the guy who brought a gun to a protest, got feisty, and got shot. FAFO.But be sure to scroll down to the bit about getting pulled over for speeding and how to talk to the cop when you have a gun nearby. A common sense kind of method.Also talks a bit about framing by the leftists but it would be better if it offered better framing to fight back.
