Captivity, Day Two

Not really, it's not that bad out.  Well, the back roads are, but I assume the city is fairly all right.  We didn't get buried by a lot of snow, but we did get some snow, ice, and a lot of wind, and that wind has been the biggest problem, blowing closed runways and some roads. 

Kaylee made some homemade hot chocolate for a school project yesterday, so we all got to enjoy the benefits of that.  It was a perfect time for it, too.

Steve made pancakes, bacon and eggs this morning, so that was pretty awesome too.  If you're going to be indoors for a weekend, it's important to have enough good stuff to eat.  :)

Kaylee hasn't been dizzy since, although she said her head did feel a little funny staring at a screen for very long.  I still don't know what that was, but am concerned it'll hit again when she starts dancing/maneuvering a lot again.

Steve's been busy cleaning the snow off of the back sidewalks, front sidewalk to the house, keeping things cleared off.  He came back in and said that our neighbor across the street had used his snow plowing machine to clear off the sidewalk in front of our house, our driveway entrance, and Ann's sidewalk all the way up to her door.  That's amazing these days, and we so appreciate it.  I'm going to see about getting him a gift certificate and a thank you card.  You don't see neighbors like that anymore.  Pretty great!

I'm a moderator on a Facebook aviation page that has about 48,000 members.  One guy kept posting aggressive, mean, political posts, attacking another guy, which is against the page rules, so a different moderator muted him (so he can't post) and deleted the offending posts.  The guy went ballistic on Private messages.  So I wrote him to try to soothe things down.  He went off on me too, and ended up threatening to sue my Commie Left-Wing self for First Amendment violations.  SO much wrong with what he's saying that it's just...funny.  He said it would cost me $10,000 to hire a federal lawyer and blah blah blah.  I ended up not communicating with him any more, after being very careful about what I said anyway, but I'd like to see any lawyer file a suit for him against me, a volunteer moderator of a group, who did not see or delete his posts, nor did I mute him, nor does it have anything to do with First Amendment rights, and he made posts clearly violating the posted rules of the private group he was in.  Gooood luck to him.  Two of the other moderators are worried about him costing them money.  I could not be less concerned about that.  I just think he needs anger management counseling, honestly.

Well, we're just trying to get stuff done around here, relax a little, enjoy the down time, appreciate the day.
