Full mifune with defense ignore spheres set to normal attack <| sep |> I ' d want to be on the side of history that accepts the word of 98 % of climate change scientists rather than the side that rejects fact . I agree , but the man is clearly a pragmatist . He ' s probably decided that isn ' t a hill he wants to die on and throws climate funding cuts to those dogs to whet their appetite while he fights for things he really cares about . I ' m not saying it ' s a good thing , but you never ever get 100 % of the things you want in politics , even if you ' re the President . Source Obama . P <| sep |> we just expect more at this point . I can ' t imagine why . Battered Aggie Syndrome ? <| sep |> Yesterday was Thanksgiving and the husband and I had a nice dinner out with his family . A couple of years ago we decided it wasn ' t worth the hassle of dealing with the extended family and all that mess of cooking and we started going out for dinner and it ' s been great . So our day off yesterday was nice and lowkey . This weekend is a long weekend for me and a much needed break from the craziness that is work , so I am planning on getting a lot of stuff done around my house . We still don ' t have our heat on yet , even though most people in my area turned it on last weekend when the cold snap finally came through . I mean , we have blankets so it ' s all good but I am kind of getting tired of the cold already . I really am so glad that I was born in this time , I don ' t think I would have survived long without modern amenities . Also , I could probably never be a time traveler either . Darn . Been meandering my way through a couple of books at a leisurely pace . Things will probably pick back up with my reading next month when I try to knock out the last several bingo squares I have left . Hope everyone has a great weekend .
