It was supposed to be about 3.5 inches of snow, but turned into 6 inches, and there is more coming later tonight. My neighbor got into the scoop-and-toss mood and piled it up to about 7&#8217;6&#8243;, and that&#8217;s just his sidewalk and mine. Had a brief power outage this morning, but the local power company got right on it and all is as it should be. In that photo above, the force of the 1967 storm at its southern edge, 275 miles south of Chicago, was so strong, all power lines were downed and took a while to put back into place. I believe they are buried now. That does make a difference. But Chicago got the brunt of that storm because while snow was predicted, no one predicted or even anticipated the volume of snow that hit that city. It was completely shut down, period. \\<\/p>\n<p>And while we&#8217;re on the subject of cold weather, Mr. Biden did the thing with his pen and signed off on the Exec Order cancelling the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline that will transport Canadian crude oil south into the USA underground, with no need for rail delivery and\/or tanker trucks doing OTR delivery, both of which produce the very bad things (CO2, etc.) that the ecohippies rant about. The pipeline requires nothing but a loading zone and a delivery zone, with no nasty gases involved.<\/p>\n<p>If this is not backwards thinking, what is it?\u00a0 All those federal leases for drilling and fracking not being approved, which I brought up last week, will cost New Mexico&#8217;s government several billions in federal funds because the leases for new wells and for fracking are now verboten by the mope in charge in WDC.<\/p>\n<p>The videos here are of two pipeline construction workers who had just started their jobs. The first guy is very angry, having been at his welding job for about three weeks. The other fellow seems kind of bewildered by what&#8217;s happened. But they can find jobs doing coding, right?\u00a0 Ri-i-i-i-ght.<\/p>\n<p>All I can do is sympathize with these guys and count the tanker cars being hauled long distance by rail, which only adds those nasty greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube video of pipeline worker who lost his job to Biden\u2019s \u201cstroke of the pen\u201d a short while ago:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J9ycIyoGB5c\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J9ycIyoGB5c<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Feedback from another laid-off worker who had just started three weeks prior to the EO stop-work order.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s0TD-cAFS6A\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s0TD-cAFS6A<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If any of you want to come and shovel out my neighborhood, we&#8217;ll all be happy &hellip; <a title=\"Job Losses?
