Where Flamingos Fly

Ah, no posts today, as we ran out of gas.

Better said, we got "froze" out of gas, as it was a bitter, bitter cold a day around these parts, with single digit/low teens for temps, and below-zero windchills, thanks to 26+ MPH winds, gusting into the 40's.

Rest Of Tonight - Mostly clear and windy. Colder. Near steady temperature around 8 above. Northwest winds 20 to 30 mph. Gusts up to 45 mph...decreasing to 35 mph.

As Barry Crimmins would say, it was "colder than Dick Cheney's heart" out there today.



So, rather than grunt, and struggle, to come up with something, we set our minds to a better place, a much warmer place, with the help of the legendary Gil Evans ...

The kind of place ...

Well, another day not going as planned, a continuation of our situation from yesterday.

And with so many goodies to choose from ...

The rabid wing of the PartyofNoicans annual meeting (aka CPAC)

A great Frank Rich today, offering that the Train Obama is humming along nicely, but beware of the PartyofNoicans doing all they can to derail it.

It's going to a busy week

And, adding to that, what started an hour, or so, ago here in the Northeast (having blanketed the South, and climbed up the Eastern Seaboard), is a major snowstorm, which will have The Garlic, at some point tomorrow, having to shovel out a foot, or more, snow.

What better time than to give you this gem, from the Gil Evans Orchestra ... 

So appropriate for the day ...
