Weather or not….
Global warming has been delayed. You might even say it has been put on ice.
There is no fireplace handy so can’t throw another log on the fire but it’s tempting to nudge the thermostat up a notch or two. Can’t remember if Charleston’s climate is listed as “tropical” or “semi-tropical” but right now it’s certainly not “typical.”
It’s safe to say that when your toothpaste is frozen the temperature is in free fall and it’s probably time to reassess your surroundings, your relationships and your expectations.
A series of cold, cold days in an unrelenting row is a good time to do some indoor testing, especially if you’re in the midst of a pell mell meltdown. And, reaching out to help someone in need is especially good when there are 24 degrees of anxiety. Sometimes a supportive kind word or suggestion is all it takes.
Ever have a sinking feeling that leaves many unanswered questions? In depth research – and underwater photography – often provides answers and allows an informed discussion of an issue. Just the facts, ma’am.
Chill out. While it’s not always Red Sales In The Sunset, selling items no longer needed is a good way to gain a few bucks, clear some space and provide treasures to someone else.

Peeling tomatoes often is the easy part part in a tasty sausage pasta meal when you know how to do it. Has to be easier than taking the skin off those tiny little grapes. And Vice Presidents usually don’t misspell “grape” either.
“First do no harm” is part of a special oath for professionals and probably should be a goal everybody aspires to in their lives. Not a bad place to start regardless of the weather or time of year.
“Hey, look at that“ is another common expression that could help one share an experience on a frosty evening. I’m Chuck and hope you’ll enjoy the views I’ve gathered here for a Roundup. Thanks…and stay warm.
