    I got up super early this moring and was going to go to the gym for an hour or so but when I walked outside I completely changed my mind. The wind is freezing and blowing at like 25 mph or so. Top layer of soil on my lawn is frozen and everything. The crap of it is that I was just outside in shorts not two days ago. It was beautiful. Well, considering it's Fall. I literally said to myself f this, I'm going back inside.

    Yep. Kind of sucks when it just shows up out of no place. That's a job first thing in the AM too, huh? I remember those days.

    32.6 °F here and the wind is blowing like a mad bastard--gust at 35 mph. Snow squalls earlier this morning. The sun is out now, but it is still freakin' cold. Brrrrrrrr.

    31 degrees here in the Piedmont of North Cackalackey. Nice steady wind. Time to head for some beer and start chopping wood.

    It's damned cold here too, but I seem to be the only one who really feels it. My kid got her dad's Midwestern cold resistance, so they can run around clothed in shorts, while I'm wearing a robe, socks and slippers and a parka--indoors. Having grown up in Erie, PA (not far from Buffalo, NY), you'd think I'd have built up a tolerance to it. Nope.

    It is an age thing , maybe. when I was her age I was immune to heat or cold ,I was pretty much immune to heat until I got AC.By then , I had done a crap load of work and pd a lot of taxes already. Cold , I think is different , unless you are out in it ea yr. , you become less tolerant or , at least where you dislike it more, then age ads to that , or maybe we just get smarter and know the arthritis , tendonitis , gout , etc feel better by the fire with a drink . If I had been 14 yrs old today , after feeding and watering the livestock I would have been organizing a football game after we skipped school , shot some rabbits for dinner and then sipped Bourbon while we skinned them , LOL. Instead , I feed & watered the animals , went to work , pd a bunch more taxes . I definitely know which one was more fun

    Looks like you're out of bread and milk, oyarde. Don't get caught with yer overalls down. We had a flurry earlier and my wife had went to the grocery store for laundry soap and when she got home, she said that every line was backed up into the aisles. Everyone had a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk. I think it's some kind of ritual or something but they me be sold out by the time you get there.

    Yeah, I figgered so. I haven't had persimmons in a long time. We have a few of those trees scattered about down on the old home place. Almost forget what they taste like to be honest. It's been that long. Nothing beats homemade white gravy either. You've got it pretty good out there, oyarde.

    Mmmm persimmons...They are sooooo good.

    25.6 °F winds still gusting to 25 mph today. Brrrr rabbit.

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

    this morning
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    His mother's got it too. But they have no heat tolerance--no problem for me. I think it's a matter of how bulky a person is, and my kid still has some of the baby fat, along with a fast metabolism.

    -20 this morning. Been below zero (for the highs) for days.

    Supposed to get above zero (11 predicted) later today.

    It's a 3 fire morning.

    It hit 11 degrees here this am. Not the coldest winter I've known but still pretty frosty. About to go driving up to Charleston WV dealing with plenty of snow and single digits. Overall though it hasn't been as cold as I expected this year. It has been really dry though, which was good for my car that leaked a year a go and needed dehumidifying.

    All in all it has been a mild winter. (The ash berries were right)
    Even mild for Michigan is harsh,, but February seems to be the worst of it. (so far)

    not like last winter that was sub zero all the way through.

    Hmmm. I'm not sure why, but that somehow describes how I feel this morning.
