Ice Storm 2022 - 2/4/2022 Pics

Most roadways are clean today, working from home, and sharing some photos.

Ice Storm 2022 - February 3, 2022

 Overnight, the news discussed how cold it would get, and that with rain and cold we'd see ice.  Then, we learned we'd have freezing rain and sleet.  And it came to us!

I'm reminded of the Ice Story of 1994 when I was in college at Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia, MS.  The freezing rain and sleet felt just exactly how that all began!  The roads are slushy today, ice settling on trees are already causing branches to fall and trees to tumble.  Friends are already losing power with transformers exploding around them.  All day today, I've heard firetruck and ambulance sirens!

Here are a few items from today.

The streets are slushy and are going to freeze up! If you're at work, go home. If they won't let you go home: SHOW THEM THIS and tell them, "Muley says to."

The Robert Johnson Collection

It's easiest to compile all the posts into one to help others when seeking out the information (especially me!).  Click on the titles to visit the stories!  If I get more posts about Robert Johnson, I'll share those links below as well.

PLANNING THE TRIP - details about why the trip was necessary to me.

LEG 1 - Leaving and Living - Stopping at a few proposed "crossroads" and the Jim Henson Boyhood Museum.

LEG 3 and 2a - Emmett Till and Leaving Leland - I wanted to share Leg 3 first, about Emmitt Till because he deserved more story.  Then, I went back to share Leg 2a and the trip after leaving Leland.

LEG 2b - Dusty Roads and Headstones - visiting Charley Patton, Willie Foster, BB King, and Robert Johnson.

That marks the end of that trip.

ROBERT JOHNSON - Living in Memphis. 

This is the story about his life in Memphis and locating the houses where he lived at the time, based on the book Brother Robert by Ms. Annie Anderson, his sister.

Muley Reads: Super Circus

Muley Reads: Super Circus!  This book is based on a show from the 1950's and features many of the same popular characters: Nicky, Cliffy, Claude Kirchner, Mary Hartline, and Scampy.

At the Super Circus, clowns Nicky and Cliffy create an act that leaves little clown Scampy out!  When he realizes this, he disappears!!  Where has he gone? What will he do if he can’t be in their act?  When we get left out because we’re not “big enough,” should we just give up?  Let's read the book to see what we might do instead of giving up.

Muley Reads: Little Donkey

 Ever feel like you're big enough to do something, only to learn that you're really not?  Guess what: THAT'S OK!  Even if you're not very big right now, one day you WILL be - and then you get a chance to help people smaller than you.  As a matter of fact, even now you can probably help someone smaller than you are, so why not do that thing?  

After we read the book "Little Donkey," of course!
