I stole this from twitter. No picture because it was plus 11 here today, and not enough snow to make a snowman if I wanted to.

It snowed last night... 8:00 am: I made a snowman.
8:10 - A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snow woman.
8:15 - So, I made a snow woman.
8:17 - My feminist neighbor complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest saying it objectified snow women everywhere.
8:20 - The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead.
8:22 - The transgender man..women...person asked why I didn't just make one snow person with detachable parts.
8:25 - The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with.
8:28 - I was being called a racist because the snow couple is white.
8:31 - The middle eastern gent across the road demanded the snow woman be covered up .
8:40 - The Police arrived saying someone had been offended.
8:42 - The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snow woman needed to be removed because it depicted women in a domestic role.
8:43 - The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction.
8:45 - TV news crew from BBC showed up. I was asked if I know the difference between snowmen and snow-women? I replied "Snowballs" and am now called a sexist.
9:00 - I was on the News as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.
9:10 - I was asked if I have any accomplices. My children were taken by social services.
9:29 - Far left protesters offended by everything marched down the street demanding for me to be arrested.
By noon it all melted
Moral:
There is no moral to this story. It is what we have become, all because of the snowflakes.

I’ve made a couple comments that if it’s going to stay warm and not snow, then it might as well rain.

Well, it’s raining. And on the one day I need to drive in the shit. Limping along, river hill wasn’t good.

Seen a double rainbow and a brilliant sunrise this morning. Then ran some Herfs through.

Looks like a big day.
Herefords are different to handle.
Most popular breed one time but the seedstock producers screwed them up with a few show bulls that got overused and concentrated the poor udders and prolapse.
Seem to be moving past that.

It was a fun day. Working other peoples cows is like watching someone else’s kids; it’s fun and when you’re done you go home away from them all!

These are fairly wild on the Hereford scale but they’re still barely past the calmest level of other breeds. It is like herding sloths though. Need to give them time to move, otherwise you just work them up and get frustrated trying to make them go in a higher gear.

This is the xmas spider. Shows up only late November to January. This one made its web overnight in my pickup reel.

Cool December rain but warm and dry with the smell of dirt under the canopy of the old 7
