What's the weather like where you are?

A gift from the Mother Nature describes today. It was almost as warm as yesterday but seemed much warmer without the wind. I logged 75.2° for a high but that might be a couple of degrees higher than the official high. Whatever the temp... it was just a fantastic day. There were some high cirrus clouds giving a cool wispy contrast to the stark blue sky. It was an incredible day for any time of the year but unreal weather for the end of December in Kansas.

Fatalities 2025

Here's one that was completely missed J. D. Souther
American singer-songwriter and actor died last September at 78. He was huge in the musical world in the 70s and 80s. I just recently did a Google search on him and the results came back actually saying he was still active.
A video from the professor of rock popped up in my YouTube algorithm and that's how learned he had passed
Mr Souther was truly one of the great ones in music
Rest in peace
He was indeed talented, and I also missed that he had passed. RIP Mr. Souther.
Stay safe out there, Joe.

Christmas 25

On topic:
I got a new ear, nose hair clipper I aboslutely adore been using it for at least six trimmings, it is really amazing and it does not do much harm to my face.
Also got a google play card from my buddy, who is dating my mother like forever, and I get to watch Twisted Metal, Nightmare before xmas, as well as Batman year one and 9 (movie that is also directed by Tim Burton, I had it on blu ray, but my ps3 did not work around with the blu ray system update, so I cannot watch any of my blu rays grr.. ) That was worth the wait, been so many years since I have seen 9.

NFL 2O25

At least I wasn't ashamed of how the Chiefs played last night. I certainly didn't expect a win but was hoping for some level of trying. They didn't disappoint me and were in the game well into the fourth quarter. At least the game was somewhat entertaining considering the Chiefs had nothing to play for and the Broncos had everything to play for. Denver lacked a TD of covering the spread and had best step up their game in post season.

Samsung Galaxy

I've been paying attention to the Moto G Stylus (2026) and expect its release sometime around CES. In reading articles, however, I found out that Motorola is working on the Moto Edge 70 Ultra: a powerhouse expected to ship with a stylus AND microSD slot... at half the price of the Galaxy S-Ultra. It's nice to know there are options out there for those of us who rely on the S Pen.

E-Bikes

I had a very small window to ride today but I jumped on it. It was windy from the South but it was unreal warm. My station shows a high of 77° but the official high in Wichita was 74°. I only rode one loop South when the wife text saying the youngest daughter and family were on their way. I hustled home and was back in my street clothes in time to receive the company. I only rode 12 miles but it was super nice to catch some rays. I saw a couple of family groups walking in town and one one walker on the sidewalk South. I bet I wasn't the the only cyclist today but I didn't see anybody on my short outing.
