Hmm, the year of the horse... mayhaps that foretells a victory for the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl?

I'm betting on it.

Happy Friday everybody!

Nature: Red In Tooth And Claw

Our Doberman will be happy... she hasn't let us take off her coat in over a week. Her teeth chatter as much as mine

:-)

Shattered Cube

Oh-so-cool Apple's Iconic Glass Cube Store SHATTERS In The New York Cold

A rebel.

The Blue Dress

only a fat cat will do.

I'm not a fan of Chris Christie, but I don't think he deserves the level of scrutiny for this traffic debacle. Barry O and his administration have a lot more to answer for yet all we hear is crickets from the MSM.

I'd wish you all a happy Friday, but I'm always grumpy on my birthday, so have a mediocre Friday today ;-)

Reconquista

Today Is The Anniversary Of The Fall Of Moorish Spain.

522 years later and it still feels good.

Get the heck out of Dodge.

Martian Bonus
