The Punxsutawney Ground Hog Day celebration gets longer every year, and it's on the verge of becoming insufferable.
To those of you who wanted warmer weather: warmer weather comes from the south, and it brings moisture as part of the package. Think of that as you're driving through the snow and ice this week. I'll take cold and dry.
Crest's chocolate toothpaste doesn't sound good, but I admit I'm intrigued. A USA Today reviewer says it doesn't taste bad, but it doesn't leave your mouth with a clean feeling, either.
Before this week, I wouldn't know Bruno Mars if he bit me on the toe. I don't expect to be downloading any of his songs.
I'm having a hard time getting excited over the Sochi Olympics, and I really don't see it happening, unless there's a really compelling story. NBC's over the top, ultra serious, presentation doesn't help.

The Wall Street Journal reports Radio Shack is closing 500 of its 4,500 stores. No list has been released. Radio Shack used to be fun places, but somewhere along the line, it lost the fun. It was also a place where you could find that unusual part or battery. You can do all of that on the internet now. Radio Shack has small stores with good customer service For the most part, I've always found the help there to be knowledgeable. I'm not happy about the cutbacks.
Good luck with the snow, and stay safe.
