Waiting for the Snow ...

Once again inspiration eludes me. Try as I might, I just can't write. At least not at the moment.

As you can see by the title, we're awaiting what might be a "major" snow event here in Little Rhody. The weather guessers are thinking five to nine inches in our area, the possibility of upwards of a foot further north in the Bay State. As I write this, Saturday evening, it hasn't started snowing yet. But it's coming, as you can see on the screenshot below.

It's moving this way from the west and from the south. We're about to be surrounded methinks.

The Nuke had to fly out of Dulles Saturday, short notice work trip. She called, the weather was going to shite while she was driving, but the forecast didn't have anything there picking up until well after her flight took off. No, she's not heading into that mess above, good thing too.

And of course her son Finnegan starts running a fever just before she left the house. He's been teething and she thinks it's that causing the fever, Lord knows he catches every bug common down there. Hopefully that's it.

I finished watching 1883 and was moved by it. It's a well done series all by itself but it is a prequel to Yellowstone (which I'm three seasons in to). You don't need to watch one to watch the other, both stand alone on their own merits quite well.

1923, on the other hand, is something of a disappointment so far. I've watched barely half of the first episode and find myself thinking of other things to do. The characters so far have not engaged my interest (the aforementioned shows' characters had me interested in the first minute), and the story so far is, quite frankly, boring.

I'm going to give it a chance, perhaps I was spoiled by the quality of 1883, much like dining in a very good restaurant one night then having a routine pizza the next. I mean even mediocre pizza is still pizza, but when you've just dined on prime rib? We shall see. The whole cattlemen versus sheep herders has been done to death. At least when I was a kid it seemed every other cowboy show covered that. I must exercise patience according to juvat, so I will.

I will be watching the Superb Owl tomorrow (hat tip to Pawpaw for that one). I really don't care who wins, just want to see a good contest without too much idiocy in officiating being on display. or idiocy in the broadcast booth as well. I'd mute the sound but I like hearing the sounds of the game and the crowd. Just wish they could teach the damned announcers not to chatter to fill every second.

Sigh ...

I'll see what I can come up with next week, juvat will be along tomorrow.

I do think that the Muse is taking this retirement thing way too seriously.

Epilogue: I made it through the 1st episode of 1923 and watched the 2nd. Things did pick up, now I'm hooked. Give it time. Like juvat says, "Patience."
