This time of year weather tends to dominate our lives as it is too damn cold! In other news, police often have to chase suspects in the northland. This time a robbery at gunpoint prompted a car chase and manhunt. The suspects did not get far. Firearms including an ar-15 were found as well. I always take the time to take advantage of a railZEN moment. Again, did I mention the weather? For some reason, it is all a certain sports team all the time. Yay sportsteam! Life goes on and it is time for a steamer at Broadway Cafe. You don't always have to drink coffee when you need to get your sleep. Snow is expected mid-week. On Wednesday -- SNOW! Let's appreciate the beauty. However, as a result of the snow a vehicle got stuck under a semi and was dragged about 8 miles before the semi driver knew something was wrong. The driver of the car survived the incident. When it is cold, it is time for a hot drink. The snow disappeared fast but the cold didn't. Cold, theoretically should keep the crime down. I ponder that as I drive a quiet Westport and check out the problem spots -- ahem -- parking lots! There is something going on at the Truman Sports Complex. Steamers and hot chocolate are on order at the local coffee shops. Did I mention it's cold? Things happen in Grandview too. When there are towns and enclaves in our metro area, I try to show them some love and attention. Westport is not always so quiet. Witness an arrest close to the witching hour (02:30 - 03:30) when bad things tend to happen. I'm noticing that red lights are becoming more of a suggestion these days. Especially during the witching hour when we need to get to Quiktrip bad! There is something going on at the Truman Sports Complex. There is a coffeehouse in the Columbus Park area I seem to like. Ol change! Oh the mundane! On the way to getting a haystack, I do a penny tour of Rosedale and the Kansas branch of the Jefferson Highway in the area. And on Saturday, I rested as Sunday was quite busy with Sinag Tala being asked to participate in the Chinese Lunar New Year celebration at the Nelson Art Gallery.
