just learned that Trotsky was killed with an ice axe, the thing used in climbing glaciers. I prefer the story that it was an ice pick, but it isn't true

An ice axe is razor sharp, I've
seen video of people cutting
themselves just unpacking
one. They make formidable
weapons.

I think I heard that the ice pick was jammed into Trotsky's ear and on into the brain, for some extra completely made up gruesome details there

What begins with "W" and ends with "hat".
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

It is 39 degrees here in Las Vegas this morning. Today isthe first day I have had to put pants and shoes on since March. I don't like it, I only want to wear shorts and sandals. Fortunately, I have three trips to Florida planned in November.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

I have never worn long johns golfing. I take that back I did play snow golf one time, you play with purple balls and not too much snow. It is pretty easy to lose your ball.

The drop in temperature always makes you cold. I am always colder in the Fall when it first gets cold. In the Spring I can be out in the exact same temperature and feel warm. I have been skiing in shorts and T-shirt in the spring.

Yes, I am always cold. I can't even sit in my house without a blanket on if the wife has the temperature set at 76. She is not allowed to put it lower than that, that is our compromise temperature. i would rather sit in a 88 degree house than a 75 degree house.
