The warmest Christmas we ever had in La Crosse was 46 degrees in 1982.

Are we going to get rid of the bitter cold weather anytime soon?
Unfortunately, the answer is NO.  The forecast calls for wind chills of 20 to 30 below Sunday night into Monday morning.
 
HERE'S YOUR WHITE CHRISTMAS MAP

JUST ONE MORE CHRISTMAS SONG 

8 SURE SIGNS YOU'RE SICK OF THE HOLIDAYS
8 You've got red and green bags under your eyes.
 
7  You're serving reindeer pot pie
 
6  When you hear "sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?, you scream, "NO! I'm not listening."
 
5  You climb on the roof and start throwing cold water on the carolers at your front door.
 
4  You think you hear your Christmas tree taunting you.
 
3  Instead of spending time with family, you're spending quality time with the dog.
 
2  You've got eggnog coming out of your nose.
 
1  Two words: tinsel rash!

 
 
 
We're off to Carl and Kathy's house for Christmas day and wherever you are I hope you're as merry as we are going to be.


The readers of Conde Nast recently voted on the Most Friendly and Least Friendly cities in the world.  The results are quite interesting.  Note that there is only ONE U.S. city on the most friendly list and FIVE U.S. cities on the most unfriendly list.

After that big Christmas dinner it would be a good idea to do your exercises.

Here is one great idea!


There's an interesting article in CONSUMER REPORTS that says they tested 316 samples of chicken breasts from various companies and found harmful bacteria in almost all of them.  As the article points out, that doesn't mean you should avoid chicken but you should make sure you handle it right.  READ THE DO'S AND DON'TS OF HANDLING CHICKEN HERE. 
First class stamps go to 49 cents next month.  I guess those "forever" stamps I bought weren't.
 
 

Hey!  We've got another birthday to celebrate.
Happy birthday to JIMMY BUFFETT.  He's 67 today!
 

When you think of Jimmy Buffett you think of Key West and what's Christmas like in Key West?  Well, at 4 o'clock, this morning, the sky was clear and the temperature was 70 degrees.
 
I spent a couple of "green Christmases" in Key West and several more in Texas and is a green Christmas better than a white Christmas?
 
It sure, as hell, is!

I just came across this photo this morning.  Haven't seen it in a long time and I really love it.  Those were happy days in the Rio Grande Valley!
