Too Winter, Too Soon

Well, it turned out even worse than I had thought.   A winter storm pelted the North Country last Friday, dumping nearly a foot of snow on Casa Monzeglio and surrounding areas.  The aftermath features mid winter snow piles which are unlikely to melt this week.  In fact, a bout of record cold is predicted in the days leading up to Thanksgiving.  Meanwhile out long political winter continues as the nation waits for Robert Mueller to issue a report on Russian interference in the 2016 elections and the tRump campaign's collusion with said ratf*cking.  The talking heads on the liberal networks attribute superhuman guile to the special prosecutor, claiming he is playing 11 dimensional chess compared to the checkers his opponents are using.  I wish I could believe that upbeat assessment.  As debased and obviously incompetent as Cheeto Jesus appears, he still has smart people working for him and I wouldn't count the administration out until the last indictment is presented.  A cornered animal is likely to react in ways unanticipated by even the most seasoned hunter.
