  1. Yesterday's snow. 

    Dropped a tree onto the wires ,snapped the utility pole.  No power ,no cable. Internet, phone.  

    Yesterday was the day that my customers had to call by to get a discount.

    I suggest you make haste for your local medical professional.

    Blocking the sun should cause a cooling effect.

    Perhaps this anomaly, only affecting you, is caused by a recent vaccination or 5g install in your neighborhood.

    Do not pass GO, do not collect $200, go directly to the hospital.

    You left out the vax

     I didn't realize that it was going to be as popular as it appears to be. From what I understand a lot of the available rooms and vacation rentals in the area are booked due to the event.

    It is crazy  ,10,000 rooms been sold out for weeks for something that lasts 3 minutes

  4. Montreal-based electric snowmobile manufacturer Taiga Motors says it is pausing production and temporarily laying off around 70 workers.

    The company, which also makes electric watercraft, says its decision is in response to a challenging economy and an exceptionally mild winter.

    Taiga released quarterly and annual results today but did not hold a conference call with investors, and a spokesperson said managers would not be available for interviews. 

    It says its net loss was $72.5 million in 2023, compared to a loss of $59.5 million in 2022.

  7. Sweden became the newest member of NATO earlier this month, joining 31 nations in the security alliance, including the United States. Well, make that 49 of the 50 United States.

    Because in a quirk of geography and history, Hawaii is not technically covered by the NATO pact.

    If a foreign power attacked Hawaii – say the US Navy’s base at Pearl Harbor or the headquarters of the Indo-Pacific Command northwest of Honolulu – the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization would not be obligated to rise to the Aloha State’s defense.

    “People tend to assume Hawaii is part of the US and therefore it’s covered by NATO,” he says.

    But, he concedes, the tip-off is in the alliance’s name – North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

    Hawaii is, of course, in the Pacific, and unlike California, Colorado or Alaska, the 50th state is not part of the continental US that reaches the North Atlantic Ocean on its eastern shores.

    “The argument for not including Hawaii is simply that it’s not part of North America,” Santoro says.

    The exception is spelled out in the Washington Treaty, the document that established NATO in 1949, a decade before Hawaii became a state.

    While Article 5 of the treaty provides for collective self-defense in the event of a military attack on any member state, Article 6 limits the geographic scope of that.
