Checking in on all the rest of y’all in the range of Snowmageddon 2026. (Basically, the southern half of the US, northeast downward, half the Midwest, etc.) Everyone doing okay out there?
It’s freezing here in southwest Missouri with snow on the ground, but our neighborhood hasn’t lost power...yet. Tomorrow is supposed to be round two of this nonsense. Cold’s vehicle doesn’t handle cold well, so he’s bundling up like he’s bound for the arctic and walking to work. Heiferlump, meanwhile, is determined to crawl inside my skin to sap all the warmth from my corpse, and let me tell you, that cat has cold toes. Those toes are also equipped with unfailing nipple-seeking stomping hardware, and I have the bruises to prove it. Naturally, I’ve held her up to the window circle-of-life style a few times so she can cuss out starlings on the feeder.
Everybody, stay warm out there!

Well, so far, it looks like we’ve gotten at least 8” on the ground. Some places in town have more, looking at pictures. That’s okay. I’m ready for it, and going absolutely NOWHERE.

We’re at 9 inches, with another 4+ inches expected.
We have also discovered that the snow is already chest-high on a corgi, and getting deeper all the time. The first attempt at her second walk of the day was cut short when she managed to wriggle out of her sweater. We put on our winter fleece-lined slicker instead, and tried again. The second attempt ended with her trying to hitch a ride on a small snowplow being driven by our building superintendent. I can’t wait for the next walk…

It looks rough out there. I hope you all stay safe!

In my 2013 Phineas and Ferb fanfic “Candace’s Perfect Body,” there’s a scene wherein Dr. Doofenshmirtz captures Perry the Platypus by trapping him inside a wool sweater and then using a huge blow dryer on it to make the sweater shrink around him. Tonight, I watched an episode of the recently revived Phineas and Ferb in which Doofenshmirtz traps Perry exactly that way.
I’d love to think that the writers got the idea from me, but honestly, they’ve used so many different Perry-traps over the years that this coincidence seems like a statistical inevitability.

That’s a hoot! And I know the feeling. Some years ago, in my TMNT WIP, I wrote a scene in which Vern, having been approached by Dunkin Donuts for brand sponsorship, lost out on the chance because he threw away an empty cup from another coffee company in the lobby. Then, last year, I think, guess who showed up in Dunkin commercials? The actor who played Vern in the film adaptions I based my story around. My brain straight up broke. Sometimes we have to wonder if just the right people have come across our scribblings and decided something didn’t sound too bad.
