Volume 12 - Day 37/329, 2020 - Thursday

Stop the presses, there was snow in central Texas last night. It does not happen frequently, and usually when it does, there is no bread or milk (or wine) left at the HEB. I still have a box of twinkies in the beer fridge left over from a hurricane preparedness shopping trip. This event was really uneventful. No panic, no real tragedies, just a pretty powdering of snow that lasted about another 20 minutes after I took a few photos. Austin is not expecting a freeze tonight, and Bartlett is just on the cusp. Maybe yes, maybe no.

Followers of Emily Post who are floundering with the rules for making toast ... er, getting toasted will want to pick up the new book from her great-great-granddaughter, Lizzie Post. According to The New York Times, Higher Etiquette: A Guide to the World of Cannabis, From Dispensaries to Dinner Parties offers tidbits of advice for a variety of situations, to wit: Don't eat all the munchies. Avoid words like "pothead" and "weed," which can have negative connotations. Tip your "budtender" well, as he or she probably makes minimum wage. "Etiquette," Post reminds us, "can be so easy."
