"Nostalgia is a form of escapism by taking a vacation in the past instead of grappling with the present or looking to the future in faith.”

The thing that always sticks with me about the GW story, maybe cos I have kids a similar age, is this bit from Full Swing where he talks about writing letters to them in case he didn’t make it through brain surgery. Imagine having to write those letters.

🚨 URGENT WEATHER ALERT: THIS IS THE REAL DEAL 🚨

Folks, I cannot stress this enough: Please prepare now!

We have all day today (Friday) and most of the daylight hours on Saturday to get ready. After that, the window closes. This is not a "bread and milk" situation—this is a major to extreme ice threat. We are looking at a setup we haven't seen in at least 10 years, and if the higher ice totals hold, we could be looking at something we haven't dealt with in 20 years (think back to the 2002 ice storm).

Here is the reality of what is coming this weekend (Sat PM - Monday):

🧊 THE ICE THREAT
Look at the maps attached. That pink and purple area isn't just "snow." It is freezing rain and heavy ice accumulation.
The forecast shows potential for 0.25" to 0.75" of ice.
What that means: At 0.25", tree limbs snap and power lines go down. At 0.50"+ (which is possible in the darker purple bands), we are talking about widespread, long-duration power outages and impassable roads.

🛑 IMPACTS: WHAT TO EXPECT

POWER OUTAGES: This is my biggest concern. With ice accumulating on trees and lines, outages are likely. If you are in the high-risk zones, you need to be prepared to be without power for days, not hours.
TRAVEL: By Saturday night, travel will likely become dangerous to impossible. Do not plan to be on the roads Sunday. If you get stuck in an ice storm, emergency crews may not be able to reach you quickly.
TREES: The weight of the ice will bring down weak limbs and trees. If you have large trees over your driveway or home, be hyper-aware.

⏳ YOUR ACTION PLAN (DO THIS NOW):
You have until Saturday evening to get this done. Do not wait.

1. CHARGE EVERYTHING: Phones, laptops, tablets, and power banks. Do it now while the grid is 100%.
2. HEAT: If the power goes out, how will you stay warm? Have blankets ready. If you have a fireplace, get wood. **NEVER** use a generator or grill indoors—carbon monoxide is a silent killer.
3. FOOD/WATER: You don't need to panic buy, but have enough food that doesn't require cooking (sandwiches, dry goods) and water for 72 hours.
4. MEDICAL: If you need prescriptions or oxygen, secure it today.

The Bottom Line:
This isn't a "fun snow day." This is a damaging ice event. We have been lucky for a long time, but the data is showing a setup that demands respect and preparation.

Use today and tomorrow to prepare your family and check on your elderly neighbors, then stay off the roads once this starts.

Stay safe, stay warm, and stay tuned for updates.

This is despicable. I'm thankful for a good security team (and plenty of equipped men and women) at our church who would help protect our congregation if the need ever arose.

Shocking footage from Cities Church in Minneapolis this morning (an SBC church) where an anti-ICE mob stormed the service and disrupted their worship, alleging one of the church’s lead pastors is an ICE agent.

The putt on 9 Sunday at the Masters 2019. As stunning as a lag putt can get.

What’s your favorite under-the-radar Tiger Woods moment or shot? So not the chip on 16 in 2005 or the twirl at Harding Park. Something more subtle.

@ScrivenerApp I tried to compile today for the first time since updating to OS26 and can't make it work! The whole export window is broken. Do you have an update coming?
