Cybersalt News
Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
Cybersalt World Headquarters is almost fully decorated for Christmas, including 3 LED bulbs in our ceiling fan. I have each bulb rotating through different colours at a different rate. I think it lends itself to a very fun and warm holiday atmosphere. Grandma Cybersalt is not a fan of these changing lights, but she is a fan of me so I am enjoying them (and that!)
Early in our shared Christmas life, I discovered that Susan preferred a Christmas tree without tinsel (Somehow that difference never came up during our premarital counselling.) Tinsel on the tree was something that was present in copious amounts on my family's Christmas tree. We even carefully saved it each year becaue the crinklier it was the more it relfected the lights around it. But I am a fan of Susan, so I gave up tinsel a long time ago. Honestly, my hands don't even shake anymore when I see a box of tinsel for sale!
Today's video share amazes me because of the incredible ice conditions it shows and because people walk 2 hours (gaining 1,500 feet of elevation) to get to this lake to skate on it. Honestly, they exercise so they can exercise!

A newcomer to Seattle arrives on a rainy day. She gets up the next day and it's raining. It also rains the day after that, and the day after that. She goes out to lunch and sees a young kid and out of despair asks, "Hey, kid, does it ever stop raining around here?"
The kid says, "How should I know?
I'm only 6."

"I can't believe it, " said the tourist. "I've been here an entire week and it's done nothing but rain. When do you have summer here?"

Brown Paper Pete
A cowboy walked into a bar and ordered a whisky. When the bartender delivered the drink, the cowboy asked, "Where is everybody?"
The bartender replied, "They've gone to the hanging."
"Hanging? Who are they hanging?"
"Brown Paper Pete," the bartender replied.
"What kind of a name is that?" the cowboy asked.
"Well," said the bartender, "he wears a brown paper hat, brown paper shirt, brown paper trousers, and brown paper shoes."
"How bizarre," said the cowboy. "What are they hanging him for?"
"Rustling," said the bartender.

I Then Thought of Chocolate
Everybody has their own comfort food. I have a long list of comfort food, and Apple Fritter is at the top. Nothing comforts me quite like a fresh Apple Fritter.
The other day I needed some comfort food. After all, life can be rather stressful, and you either deal with the stress or let it deal with you.
