Do you have streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Paramount +?  I think there are very few people who don't have at least one streaming channel.  Have you noticed that young people are opting for only using streaming rather than local or traditional cable?  All of our  (5) children fall into that category.  One benefit is that they aren't seeing the number of commercials that we see on local TV, and that is one MAJOR benefit in my opinion. 

How do you feel about it?

Moving on now.

I just love puns!

Google it!  It's fun!

Is it still winter? It Depends.

 

Everyone seems to want to rush through winter.  I guess if you live where it snows, that's totally understandable.  Here in Southeast Texas, we rarely, and I mean RARELY get snow.  We do get ice, though.  In fact, they threatened a big ice storm a couple of weeks ago, but thankfully, it didn't happen.  We had some freezing temperatures but not much precipitation.  Then this past week, we were in the 80's for 3 days in a row.

We did have a historic ice storm exactly 5 years ago that was one of Texas' worst natural disasters.  Millions without power, some for more than a week, snow in many places, ice over the entire state, over 200 deaths.  I don't care to relive that.  We have had a few freezes this year, but nothing like that.

If we use Groundhog Phil as an indicator, we still have another four weeks of winter to go, which actually lines up closely with the actual first day of Spring, March 20th.  How has winter been treating your area?

This actually happens.

All in good fun, people.  Have a great week.  Don't forget to visit Happy Tuesday and Random Tuesday Thoughts.

Su'per Ta'zon Medio Tiempo

 How 'bout that game?  How 'bout that half time performance? Bad Bunny delivered a solid performance as did Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, but mostly Bad Bunny!  I love how they had the field decorated like a sugar cane field.  They did an amazing job of setting everything up!  And finding out that the couple who got married was actually a REAL wedding was amazing!  

Here is my favorite commercial.  The rest were disappointing!   If you can watch this commercial and not feel  something in your heart, you may not have a pulse!

Moving on to some other funnies...

Sunday Synopsis - True Crime

But I Trusted You and Other True Cases by Ann Rule
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ann Rule is the queen of true crime writing for a reason. She takes an actual crime and writes it so that it flows smoothly like fiction. This book focuses on crimes committed by people who were otherwise trustworthy.

The first and longest story in the book is about a middle school counselor who is found shot to death on his own steps on an icy February morning. Having been a middle school teacher for so long, this one blew my mind. I will say that this particular middle school counselor definitely had some eccentricities, but nothing that would lead to his death. It's a twisted and interesting story.

Another story is one called "Death in Paradise: The Haunting Voyage of the Spellbound." This one left me (and the public in general) with more questions than were actually answered by the family and friends on board the Spellbound at the time of the deaths. Yes, multiple.

The remainder of the stories also contribute to the theme of betrayal and hidden darkness. If you like true crime, you will enjoy this book.

All Everyone's Talking About

 It's that time of year.  No, not Valentine's Day.  Superbowl Sunday, a day where even people who have no idea what's happening in the game, nor do they care, watch football for the sole purpose of seeing the new commercials that premier during the game.  

I occasionally watch football, but I have no skin in this particular matchup-Patriots and Seahawks.  But my husband did place a bet.  I have no idea exactly what he bet, but we had to drive to Louisiana to make the bet because we aren't allowed to gamble in Texas.  Luckily, it's less than two hours away.  And we made a day trip out of it and went to Delta Downs for a few hours.  It was fun, and we came home winners.

Anyway, I'm looking forward more to the commercials.  Usually, I look forward to the halftime show, too, but I have very little clue about Bad Bunny.  I saw part of the Budweiser commercial that starred a Clydesdale foal and an eaglet, and a full-grown Clydesdale and eagle.  A Dalmatian had a cameo. Here's a link if you want to see the clip and can't wait.  But if this commercial doesn't make you cry... well, I don't know what will.  Let me know what you think after you see it!

And now...

Have a great week and remember to visit Happy Tuesday and Random Tuesday Thoughts.
