Yep!
There are a number of days next week with snow in the forecast. We’ll see how much we actually get.
34 here. We are under an advisory for freezing drizzle, but nothing so far. Been just staying in and working on an editing project.
Congressional phone lines have been overwhelmed by people calling in with concerns. I don’t have time during the day to even attempt to call, so I’ll email.

This may sound weird, but don’t discount the Orange One’s many unofficial minions online.
I’ve been posting on FB about the challenges of the tariff changes this past week. We had ONE business...
R/fednews on Reddit is a good place to read about what’s going on from the federal employee viewpoint. Very interesting reading.
There is is a quote in the article that importers have this kind of thing on autopilot until there are sudden changes. Then panic time.
We had freezing rain last night but the roads were fine in my area this morning. Worked from home yesterday afternoon due to some work in my building.
Thank you for your kind words. It has...
If you have access to the WSJ, there is a big article on customs brokers due to tariff situation. Good explanation of what I do and why it’s such a mess now.
...
Yeah, I just don’t get that. Aside from the issues I had with interviews last year with people wanting WFH for an in office job, I know people who needed to hire for in person jobs dealing with the...
Most people aren’t you.
I had to work from home this afternoon as all the unit doors in my building were being painted and someone had to be here to open the door.
Anyway, after the chaos on Monday with tons of customs...
I’ve never liked flying. The whole effing experience is miserable. Road trips, on the other hand, are fabulous.
Airlines don’t mean shit with our stretched too thin ATC system.
That goes for anyone with the stupid idea to protest by blocking roads. I always say it’s too bad it’s illegal to run over people blocking the road. They certainly are effing clueless blocking the...
There was apparently a protest in Dallas with many illegals. It would have been like fishing in a barrel.
Glad I to know I wasn’t the only one thinking this.
You’re welcome! Just like during the COVID supply chain chaos, people have really no clue what I do!
I spent 5 hours after getting home from church pushing through customs clearances I would have done later in the week. I had 15 for one customer (thankfully they were very quick) and 3 for another....
Yes, the auto industry is truly the entire continent, not just the US.
I will definitely keep you updated. I will have to work this afternoon from home. Have some customs clearances for shipments...
Check country of origin on stuff you use. Bet you’ll be surprised.
You might be surprised what is made in MX. Three items I use daily: Nivea crème, Eucerin crèam (tube), Scott toilet paper. All...
Yes, I totally agree hitting Canada is messed up.
And something else: the $800 exemption for personal shipments before duty kicked in is going away for stuff shipped from China. ANY shipments you order from Temu and the like SHIPPED DIRECTLY FROM...
This needed to be broken out on its own. The Canadian/Mx duties are easy enough to understand, but the China ones are in top of existing from Trump’s first term.
They go into effect Tuesday. 25%...
Flying a non-US carrier in the US with our shitty ATC system isn’t going to do shit.
The DC accident happened due to the helicopter flying too high. If you had actually bothered to read about the...
