The nor'easter has a name: Nemo. Right now it looks like the worst of it will be east of NYC, smacking eastern Long Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts very hard. I moved my car two blocks north, just in case the bay breaches again, although it looks like it won't. I can't take a chance on losing it, although I'd always be able to operate a limited floating book shop featuring only my works. So now the waiting. How deep will the snow be? Will I be able to drive to my sister's tomorrow and do my laundry and visit my friend Bags? I have a shovel in the car. The problem, if there's a lot of snow, will be parking. There will also be winds as high as 60 mph. If the forecast is right, the melting should begin immediately, as the next few days will be sunny and rain is possible for Monday. After last year's cakewalk, it's been a normal winter. When a caller complained about global morning on Mark Simone's radio show this morning, he pointed out something I'd never heard before. The temperatures on Venus and Mars have also risen and, as far as we know, it wasn't caused by any humans living there.
A French study of 60,000 women has found that drinking only one can of diet soda a day increased the risk of Type 2 diabetes by 33%. It does not surprise me. There are no shortcuts to good health. That stuff always tasted yucky to me, and I often felt crappy after having one. I'll stick to my one serving of high fructose syrup a day. I love soda, or pop, as my midwestern friends call it, and wish I could have it at every meal. I also wish I could have ice cream and candy every day. Well, I could if I ignored my well being entirely. As if getting older isn't hard enough.
