At 5am it began here at 19* then by 8am it was down to 14*. I think it is on it's way back up now. Cold isn't all that terrible unless you're out in it. Bad if you need to go out but a catastrophe if you need to go out with the wind blowing like it's two hours late for an appointment like it is here.
Stupid is going out when you really don't need to and I represent that. Want to walk the neighbors dog and do the mile around the horn. It would be easy to get out of that habit because of a little cold. Don't take the walk once then it becomes easier not to take it the next time. Just hope I don't ice down my lungs and wouldn't chance it at all if I didn't think my ultra warm heart would prevent it.
More stupid is the guy that went flying by in a bass boat just a bit ago. Had a huge rooster tail following him and at first I thought he was loosing the flotation from the boat. However, after some careful observation though the binoculars I discovered the water that constituted the rooster tail was freezing then falling back as ice. Guess it could be similar to Hansel dropping bread crumbs, this guy, after his eyes freeze, will be able to hear his way home bumping along the icy path he left.
Please don't give up on me! One of these days I'll surely have something to say. After five years of nothing the odds have got to be in my favor.
