That doesn't sound fun...

Sharia cops in the twelve northern states of Nigeria are out busting people for not observing Ramadan and other heinous crimes...

"We do get calls from people who are enraged after seeing people eating in public and we act fast by going to the area to make arrests."

He also confirmed the arrest of other people who were seen with "inappropriate haircuts", wearing shorts above the knee and tricycle drivers mixing male and female passengers.

Tab Clearing...

Surveillance camera company Flock is taking legal action against a company that is mapping the locations of its cameras.

Pushback against Amazon delivery drones in College Station, TX.

Mexico's lawsuit against U.S. firearms manufacturers is worth keeping an eye on. I'm pretty confident in the current SCOTUS on 2A issues, but civil suits are the soft underbelly of the issue. Arguments could happen as soon as tomorrow.

KMUX (San Francisco) is down and needs a critical part replaced but, uh, everybody's government credit cards have been turned off. They can still get a part via a P.O., but that's gonna take longer. Efficiency, comrades!

March Comes in Like a Meme Dump...

"I had no idea the Messiah was one of those public transit obsessed weirdos."

Variable Air

Last week started out warm for late February...this far into winter anything above freezing feels like sunbathing weather and las Monday got up to 54°F ...and it just kept getting warmer, to the point that Friday afternoon was a sunny 65°F.

What should have been an omen that something Midwestern was about to happen, though, was the steady 30MPH breeze, occasionally gusting close to 50.

Sure enough, Saturday morning it was below freezing and spitting snow flurries.

March has definitely decided to come in like a lion. It's 17 degrees out there as I type this.
