TUESDAY JANUARY 7: STILL COLD BUT WE'RE SEEING SOME SUN TODAY.

OH NO!
I DIDN'T DO A DAMN THING TODAY
WHAT DOES THAT SAY
ABOUT TOMORROW?


I'M TOASTY WARM
I received an afghan that mother made years ago from Donnie today.  It arrived just in time.  I've been cold all day and it's keeping my shoulders warm.
 
I've stood up to the cold pretty good until today.  It's been too cold too long.  I'm losing my sense of humor.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD DAY


AT HIS PRIME


OUR 7:00 AM WIND CHILL
WAS 34 BELOW

BETTER SHAVE THIS MORNING
(who knew?)



IT TAKES ALL KINDS
The most interesting story of the day has to be the one from Australia where it took police, firemen, paramedics, a search and rescue squad and a lot of olive oil to free a 20 year old naked man who got stuck in a top loading washing machine.
 
One would think a 20 year old man would be old enough to know better.  One who thought that would be very naïve.

A WARNING TO
WISCONSIN TRAVELERS

They suggest that anyone travelling in the current winter conditions should ensure they have the following:
 
Shovel
Blankets or sleeping bag
Extra clothing including hat and gloves
24 hours worth of food
De-Icer
Rock Salt
Flashlight with spare batteries
Road Flares or Reflective Triangles
Full gas Can
First Aid Kit
Booster cables
 
I looked like an idiot when I got on the bus this morning.

 
THOSE GEORGIA PEACHES ARE FROSTY TOO!
 
Late yesterday afternoon,  Lynne sent an email that said, "Just looking at temperatures.  We have 13 below, here in Wisconsin, and Dawn has 13 above in Georgia.
 
She and her doggie arrived back home on the 3rd and she thought they were going to be warm again.  Not So!  Crazy weather all over."

3D: LOSING ITS LUSTER...AGAIN?
I ran across an article, this morning, that reports ticket sales for 3D movies are on a steady decline with every new flick that comes out.
 
Apparently, audiences have decided a good film is a good film and 3D doesn't make it any better.  There are a few of us left that can remember that audiences reached the same conclusion, back in the 50's, the first time 3D was introduced.
 
A gimmick is a gimmick and 3D will always be, for the most part, a gimmick that really doesn't add enough to a bad story to sell more tickets.
 
 
AND, TALKING ABOUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS....
PAUL REVERE IS 76 TODAY!

  
WARMER WEATHER TODAY!
With any kind of luck, the mercury, in the old thermometer, could rise above zero to 2 above.  I know it's not much but it's a step in the right direction.  And, wind chills, today, will be a balmy 30 to 35 below zero.  At this rate, we might see temperatures get up to double digits by the first day of spring.
 
 
If you're bad you'll die and burn in the fires of hell.  If you're really, really, really bad you'll die and freeze your ass off in the winter winds of Wisconsin.
