SNOW WHITE

Central Arizona's Black Hills have a white topping today.

TAKING A BREAK

What a way to begin a week.

Catalyst is going to put Oddball Observations to sleep for awhile, to renew its energy, perhaps.

I read about Lucy doing this and after much thought decided I would follow her, with the same options she stated.

So I'll be around . . . lurking, occasionally commenting on other blogs I read, and probably posting from time to time.

Just not as often.

Call it a fallback position.

Ta-ta.

WIN - (brrrrr) - TER

Lori, burdened by the needs of her dog Reggie, hits the streets much earlier than I do.

She left me some photographic views of her early morning "Winter Wonderland".

Wearing his winter garb.

Sorry, Reggie, too cold for me.

FRIDAY FUNNIES

Oh, darn, sorry I'm late with this.

I got an email from a friend a while ago.

It said "Geez.  I didn't realize that we live in such a s*** hole until just a few minutes ago.  I think I'm afraid to go outside."

Apparently this year's election has even divided some families.

Oh well, we have a new president.

Let's just get over it and get on with our lives.

And remember, we need to concentrate on more imminent dangers - there's snow in the forecast.

All right.

Everybody get the picture?

I give up.

Listen up, Gentle Readers.

Please go out there and have an excruciatingly fab weekend and give yourselves a break: keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . . Hey, where's the dog?

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW

(sound up)

TUESDAY TRAVELS

A quick stop at Sunset Point north of Phoenix yesterday found little likelihood of a sunset but some impressive clouds over the mountains.

There was some blue sky peeking through up to the north, where I had come from, though.

The valley below looked nice and green.

That bright green triangular area is a friendly Arizona dude ranch.

Y'all come!
