This is going to be a snarky post. The City website has this to say about snow removal on their website: The City of Kansas City, Mo., requests that residents, businesses and organizations clear sidewalks adjacent to their homes and offices to help pedestrians to get to school, work and home. The City’s Municipal Code (Sec. … Continue reading Kansas City, MO: Do as I say, not as I do
Quick review of delivery
Okay, late in the day posting, but I finally have the evidence to comment. I found out last week that I needed one more book to successfully write the paper for my class due this coming Monday.

It’s A Wonderful Life
Back in December I published a list of Christmas movies, with the intent of reviewing some of them. Well, based on the time of availability in getting them from the library, they are getting more spread out that expected. So last night we watched It's a Wonderful Life.

Of space and seasons

This year we decided (we meaning me -- I'm the arranger and rearranger of all things furniture) that instead of upsetting the living room, we'd put up the Christmas tree in the dining room.
