If only inflation didn't feel like such a big money grab by those who don't need it.

"A ruptured pipe dumped enough oil this week into a northeastern Kansas creek to nearly fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, becoming the largest onshore crude pipeline spill in nine years and surpassing all the previous ones on the same pipeline system combined, according to federal data.
The Keystone pipeline spill in a creek running through rural pastureland in Washington County, Kansas, about 150 miles northwest of Kansas City, also was the biggest in the system's history, according to U.S. Department of Transportation data. The operator, Canada-based TC Energy, said the pipeline that runs from Canada to Oklahoma lost about 14,000 barrels, or 588,000 gallons."

And still almost anyone can walk into a gun shop and buy an AR 15.

I'm hearing there is a bit of cold coming your way for Christmas.

The lowest temperature I am seeing in the 5-day forecast for my location is 8F. That's nothing compared to what some folks are going to see in other parts of the country. Some locations in the northern plains of the U.S. are going to see -30F.
The snow started here right as expected, about 7 a.m. Eastern. I'd guess we only have about 2-3 inches so far.
The unknown variable will be the wind. Some areas will see 30-50 mph winds. Not sure if we'll get that.
In any case, I hope everyone is able to stay warm and safe.

We had some very cold days (down to -10 C) and some snow, but now it's back to rain and comparatively balmy +12 C.
Temperature swings within a day or two in US can be crazy. We don't really get that here.
