The more things stay the same

Here's me getting up this morning seeing the nice blizzard going on outside..  Getting to the cupboard and getting a glass out to get my morning glass of water to kickstart the organs and I notice a glass there next to the plastic ones we have.. I got my shot of water then opened the door again and grabbed the glass I originally looked at.. Why did it catch my eye??  Well it isn't fancy, and wasn't store bought like they are now.. It was bought in a store, yes, but it was something completely the opposite that it was intended for.. Back in the early days of my mom & dads marriage they were looking at ways to cut costs, and one of them was reusing things that weren't originally intended for.. They got jelly & jam, peanut butter jars and some of them were in fact intended to be used as glasses you drink out of after they were empty.. How many of these did we have?? A fairly good lot of them.. I remember using this particular glass many times over the years and it has a great testimony to how good things were made back in "the day" (as they say).  And this glass still is fine, still does what it is intended to do instead of taking space in a trash pile somewhere.. I thought of this idea now and truth is there are some glass jars that could be used as drinking glasses but this one does have just a slight lip on it which suggests that it was an old jelly or jam glass jar.. Most peanut butter has a threaded top for the lid..

This snow storm (el blizzardo) hasn't been the major "NEMO" storm they got back in the New England part of the country.  In fact it looks like it was more of a piddling of snow ala last year when it happened on a Friday and altered things a bit.. That was supposed to be a nasty storm but didn't shit on us the way it was supposed to.. Then todays storm looks identical to that storm, only even less..

Went through a session yesterday where I looked at tv shows to watch.. Torrenting to get some of the shows, finding that a few shows that looked good to watch have in fact been cancelled so I might not even bother trying to watch them..  Then a show called Cracked was in the listing.. Does this sound good ??  I looked at the description and it says it is made in Canada and shown there so I get it to try..  Another is Seed, about a guy who deposited his sperm at a sperm bank and finds out that he has a lot of offspring that way.. I think it is a sitcom..  Should be interesting..
