Winter storm coming in tomorrow. Anyone else in the path?

^

I didn't expect you to get the storm. Looking at a map S. Maryland is barely supposed to get anything, so anything below that wouldn't get the white stuff. Central PA on the other hand, we'll see what mother nature throws at us.

Caught my first shiny Pokémon today in the Crown Tundra DLC by accident it was a blue Tyrantum

By the time the storm subsided sometime last night, we had a little over a foot of snow. Main roads were plowed this morning but most people still stayed home.

On this date 8 years ago I boarded an Airplane bound for TX where I would spend the next 2 months.

***** Texas Saturday Breakfast *****

New Taco Time, Verdad! All fresh, all new! Saturday Breakfast In Place time! Bring out the Drones! The NewTexas Happy Taco Stands, in conjunction with the NewTexas Incendiary Corporation, has approximately 1 trillion of the fastest, lightest drones you have ever seen. This fleet is specially designed to deliver tacos to every man, woman, child, whatever, in Texas, all 2,412,075,000,000 of you.

For your dining pleasure, today's special breakfast will Saturday Huevos con Chicharrón Tacos [COVID-19 Week XXXIX Edition]! This one is yet another tradicional Mexican morning staple that has "homey" written all over it! The Head Smoker of Taco Town is still getting a rest as the Big Tex Abuelas and Abuelitas break out the ginormous black cast-iron skillets once again. Tejanos and Texans alike know chicharrones are fried, puffed, crispy, pork cracklings. Tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños are sautéed in bacon grease until soft, then the chicharrones are quickly stirred in just to heat them, and then the jumbo, brown, Texas Grade AA eggs are whipped in until it is all one yummy mess of soft and crispy. That is then shoveled into your hot, fresh flour tortilla. All tortillas are made by our Texas Abuelas on the premises multiple times daily. It is just that simple and delicious. Remember, a whole egg in every taco!®

Today's Special Salsa is the good ol' green stuff - Salsa Verde - cilantro, tomatillos, onions, garlic, and jalapeños, all charred fresh on the comal and blended together and fried until awesome. A sealed cup of Texas-made Longhorn Cheddar Jack cheese is also included in case you need a cheese fix. The tacos are hermetically-sealed in a Stay-Warm® pouch that is wrapped in the same ol' aluminum foil we are all so familiar with for our breakfast taco. The Juice Bar will not be possible this week. But, for your beverage needs, a packet of Sanka, Tang and a Lipton Tea bag will be included with every delivery as well as salt and pepper and a napkin. Yes, it is different, but it works and you do not even have to leave your residence. Woo! And, watch out for the drones! Start your day off the right way; munch out and go back to sleep. You know you want to!®

Stay Safe Texas. Stay Well.

***** Texas Chat Reminder *****

The Texas Weekly Chat Session will be Saturday (TODAY) at High Noon Texas Time (CDT) ***Saturday***. And, if you can't be there right at Noon, that is Ok, Texas Chat usually runs 3, 4, 5 hours with some Chats running as high as 7 or 8 hours.

The Texas Chat Site is here: http://texasregion.net/blab70/login.php

Please register with your nation name. This is a great opportunity for nations old and new to Texas to find out what is going on! We chat, we debate, we talk about the weather, we talk about stuff we like, stuff we hate, random stuff, and more stuff. But, it is never stuffy. Usually, it is about meeting your fellow Texans and talking about the latest and most interesting stuff in NationStates at the moment. But then again, sometimes NationStates does not even come up. It is wide-open chatting with peeps from around The World both IRL and NS. It is Texans, EuroTexans, WannabeTexans, ex-Texans, VirtualTexans, and plenty of Friends of Texans. We have it all and all are welcome. Texas Chat, 819 weeks and running! For the math-challenged, that is over 16¼ years! Check it out! Good stuff!

Note: This is The Last Chat Of The Year! We will be taking off next Saturday for Christmas and the following Saturday for New Year's. The Texas Weekly Chat will return Saturday, January 9, 2021.

A couple of video Christmas Cards from this nation to the region courtesy of someone with a lot of time on their hands over in the next county. I shot the video. (Yeah, I moved the camera on Candy Cane Lane. I don't want to talk about it.)

Vincent's Sunday Surprise Beverage Bonanza

Howdy Dudes and Dudettes of Texas!

Today's Sunday Surprise Beverage is Make - Your - Own - Beverage Day! I've got lots of Large Boxes full of drink making ingredients stacked up right here and I'm going to beam them directly into the home of every Texan in Texas. Everyone will receive a Large Box and it'll materialize on the table closest to you. With all the drink ingredients in your box you can make Old Fashioned Homemade Eggnog, Bourbon Eggnog and Homemade Non-Alcoholic Eggnog Recipe (No Raw Eggs) . There's enough ingredients to make 3 glasses of each drink. You can keep the Instructional Guide CD as my gift to you:

When blending drinks in your blender always add your ice at the end so it doesn't jam up the blender. Also if you've got alcohol in your house and you desire an alcoholic drink just mix your own booze into the beverages.

And today I've included a Ready-To-Assemble Large Gingerbread House and Decorating Kit in everyone's boxes too. These Gingerbread Houses will make an eye-catching display and eventually wind up as a tasty treat and you can decorate them the way you like it. Awesomely tasty! :)

I hope y'all enjoy today's Sunday Surprise Snack and Beverages Texans. Yeehaw! :)
