I am glad I didn’t go camping this weekend after all. For two seconds it was warm, and I wanted to travel. Yet the ice came back in a big way. Even with a huge jacket on I was cold. Here are some pictures of the car hood deep ice.

Tire Weak
By Andrea M.
I cannot make it to Maryland this weekend. My spirit was willing, but my tire was weak for travel to Maryland. I had planned to go to Maryland to see concerts this weekend. It is Valentine’s Day and Presidents Day Weekend a holiday when I get extra time off work. In addition weather apps said good weather was happening as good concerts were scheduled. Then boom a flat tire hits, battery warning on, and freezing ice rain moves in. In addition one of the few good ways to travel near Maryland is to use the RV parks. I have personally experienced the hotel areas are violently plagued by gangs, but the RV parks are cheaper and nicer. Unfortunately, my camping gear was in far worse shape than I expected after winter storage, and I had to cancel. Oh well the weather will warm up in a couple of weeks when I have had replacement and repair done. They say Friday the 13th is bad luck, but in some ways bad luck can be good.

When Valentine’s Day is a bummer you must post jokes. Yes I am single with no relationship at all for Valentine’s Day.

Not Perfect
By Andrea M.
It is okay not to be a perfect person, and to try to live again. I may have had problems in the past, but I made all A grades in my accredited night school master’s degree program in 2025 so that counts for something.

Wild Stories
By Andrea Menzies
The Internet was telling wild stories about the halftime show on the 2026 Super Bowl. I have had some ex-boyfriends make up wild lies about me in the past, and was unpleasantly surprised by how people quickly believed wild stories from the Internet. Just because several people on the Internet tell a story does not make it true. The Bad Bunny halftime music quickly became a magnet for the same type of lies. It was fully surreal how weird stories were flying into being after a bit of costumes and dancing. It just shows people should not blindly believe Internet gossip and wild stories.

Happy Superbowl Weekend
By Andrea Menzies
Happy Super Bowl weekend to all. It has become as much of a holiday as Thanksgiving or Halloween by this point. I don’t follow sports very much, but I do like the half-time show and funny commercials.

Discrediting the Witness
By Andrea Menzies
Hurting witnesses and saying they are insane when they are screaming from the hurt is an age old method of discrediting the witness. The latest Epstein files renewed interest in this lady that is all over the Internet.

Why Road-trip
By Andrea Menzies
People often ask me why I buy so many books on road-trips. Here is an example of why I am trying to drive to escape Virginia. I text my daughter and mother many examples from the years I had to get rape therapy after I was in the military, and how military wife teachers torture me daily when I am working at my teaching job. I found a new school I have to put on-block this week due to a co-worker constantly screaming.

Meta Outrage
By Andrea Menzies
Here is a new article posted February 4 on BlueSky about the latest horrible things META has gotten from Trump. Huge profits, and almost no taxes for social workers or school teachers like me. More people should be outraged, but the news is not posted on Facebook. 13.7 billion not paid in taxes, and people wonder how teachers with degrees like me lack healthcare in America.

Work Back
By Andrea Menzies
I am so glad they are giving me more teaching work to do tomorrow. Snow days are fun at first, but the snowman company loses charms really fast after the first couple days. I am starting to understand why many really scary films have people being trapped in the snow as part of the plot.
