I did my outside stuff early today and then I came home where I plan to stay until it warms up. The problem with that plan is that, at my age, I don't know if I have enough time left until it warms up again. From what they tell me it won't be any time soon.
HOW MUCH SHIT
IS TOO MUCH SHIT?
I started a new book, today, by brain scientist and author Jeff Stibel. He mentioned an interesting statistic which has had my mind in overdrive all afternoon trying to imagine just how awful the smell must have been in New York.
He relates that in the early 1800's there were about 200,000 horses in New York City that people needed for transportation. The city estimated that each one of those horses left, on the streets, about 24 pounds of manure and a quart of urine each and every day.
The city was growing so fast that the folks in city hall feared they would need a lot more horses in the next 20 years which would leave the "Big Apple" knee deep in shit.
Fortunately, the underground railroads and the automobile came along before the horse problem got that bad. I keep thinking, however, that what they already had, would have been too much bad for me to take.
I wonder how many horses they had in La Crosse in the early 1800's?
Two expectant mothers, in Wisconsin, have died from the flu. Neither one had gotten a flu shot.

I could sure take a day like this right now!

They both have a house for sale!
(Well, they don't really have that in common because Brad has already sold his house.)
You've seen pictures of Donnie and Linda's house but have you seen Brad and Angelina's?

THE NEW HOSPITAL IS OPEN
They moved about a hundred patients into the new Legacy Building at Gunderson yesterday. I haven't see the inside of the building, yet, but I have a feeling I, probably, will see it before I die!
