Seattle during the Pandemic

Last week was beyond anything I would have ever expected. Friday, March 12 it started snowing in Seattle; and it snowed and snowed. On Saturday, Jay had her first real experience with snow. She and Yoshi ran and played at the dog park while Odin and I went sledding. By night fall both Jay and I were limping, Jay worse than I have ever seen her. We started glucosamine and ASA for her. On Sunday we all wanted to stay cozy inside.

The MONDAY....I got my 2 upper back teeth extracted with a bone graft. I was glad Josh drove me. I did not want to drive in the slush and I was pretty out of it afterwards so was really glad he was driving me home. But Meanwhile...in Texas...there was a major event brewing.

It started with your standard Tx Ice Storm and proceeded to the worst freezing winter storm that ever happened in ALL OF TX. Then the Tx power-grid got overwhelmed, Lack of preparation and regulation meant most of Tx had no power all week and towards the end of the week they also had no water. What a disaster! All caused by poor management, lack of caring and planning on the part of the lovely republican Tx government. And the senator, Ted Cruz headed to Mexico with his family. While senators from other states started raising money to help the poor people of texas. WTF!, right?Leggi altro
