While working for the Department of Justice, attorney Laura Coates says she saw voter rolls being purged and instances where polling places were moved to known Klan locations. She also worked as a prosecutor and had to grapple with her own relationship with law enforcement, as a Black woman. Coates is a CNN analyst and hosts a SiriusXM show. Her new memoir is ‘Just Pursuit.’
Packing up and leaving early after a night at Canaan Heights - Table Rock in West Virginia when I was having problems with a bad wheel bearing in my truck. I wish I could have spent more time in West Virginia -- I'm almost tempted to go back down there this autumn again. November camping was cold, but it might be worth it, just to set up camp at Canaan Heights and spend some time there again.
But that’s to be expected this time of year. It’s nice though how much more daylight we are picking up in the afternoons now, makes the evening commute so much more pleasant. In a week, it will be close to the 5 PM sunset, something we all are looking forward too. I might have to work next week, so who knows if I will be able to get out of town — and if I do it still be pretty cold.

Mornings are dark these days. And in 8 weeks, they will be dark for a few more weeks, with the time change, giving us that extra hour in the evening. But by then, it will be relatively close to spring, and we gain time faster then any other time of year.

In four weeks on February 14 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (253°) at 5:25 pm, which is 36 minutes and 13 seconds later then today. In 2021 on that day, we had mostly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 28 and 15 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 34 and 17 degrees. The record high of 63 degrees was set back in 1946.
In other words, when there is no hope, there is spring time!
