Still trying to use up the whole seven bone roast. Today, I minced some more of it, and made meatballs in my steamer. It worked out. Tasted good. Just not as attractive looking as the restaurant style dishes.

I got the latest Google Maps directions for anyone going to South Lake Tahoe. Plan on a long walk.

Nope, nope, nope. Earlier today I saw that at least one of the highways was closed by avalanche (89?).
I don’t have any pressing reason to go in that direction until things stabilize and clear.

On a lighter note, this is a video put together by District PIO showing one of my projects. 8+ years from start to completion.

Congratulations on The Bridge. It looks great.

The story in the news was that Google Maps, with the road closures on 80 & 50, was listing hazardous detours. I tried Google Maps, and it gave walking directions straight up Highway 50, which is closed.

Yeah,
We see problems with Google, Bing, Apple, Mapquest, etal all the time. There are many minor roads up here that are not maintained for passenger vehicles and these bloody programs will send drivers on them as a way around. It has cost people some BIG tow bills and even some their lives.

I took these from our PIO Facebook page where they posted this morning.

The end of the year is almost here. Will 2022 be just as bad as 2021? Or will it be worse? God only knows.

My guess (as of this moment) is that one way or the other we're all gonna get covid. If you're vaxxed an boosted, you will probably not get sick, or have mild symptoms. The way that omicron is spreading, this will be over by 4th of July.

I reserve the right to revise that forecast at the drop of a hat.

Eventually everyone will stay at home and get free money due to robots taking all the jobs.

One more day, and then we can make 2022 as much like 2021 and 2020 as possible.
