This winter came on hard after a lovely December… I should be grateful that I got the chance to ride at all-stars but I’d like to get back to it. Today was worse for wind, and I feel a slight wind burn on my face. It’s supposed to get worse as the day progresses, but…

Warming Up the Car, a minor protip.
Yes, the manufacturers talk about not having to warm up your car for very long before running it. This is great when it’s reasonably warm, and everything is working pretty well. I’m talking about weeks like this where the temps are expected to see -6 degrees Fahrenheit (sorry out of country folks, I am not…
Snow day.
Chilly day today. Luckily they basically shut down the lower peninsula, so I had time to clear the four-ish inches of snow from the drive and walks. I’ll be back out later to clear them again, but doing some early makes it easier later. Wound up having lunch at Abbey’s Gab’N Shack here in town….

Damien Echols provides a fresh look at magickal practices from outside the standard Thelemic and Ceremonial Magick circles. The book itself is fairly compact…

Son of Chicken Qabalah
I had an extended period of time sitting on my behind this past autumn, so I was able to spend time reading, which seems to be a wedge-in-when-I-can activity.
