TODAY IS DOLLY'S DAY

MINNESOTA WINTER

If you're sitting on the beach in Honolulu this is a beautiful picture.  If you're sitting on a snowbank in Minnesota it sucks.  If you're sitting on a snowbank in Minnesota and think this is beautiful you're a Norwegian.

We love #travel photography! Here is a beautiful shot of a Minnesota winter wonderland. pic.twitter.com/caafavJdBF

SUPER BOWL ADS
You'll see more of this during the Super Bowl

SUNSHINE

SCIENTISTS SAY THE SUN IS SLEEPING

There's just nothing happening on the face of the sun.  A sleeping sun usually goes along with a bitterly cold winter and if you're in Wisconsin I think you'll agree that this is a bitterly cold winter!

 

As far as I'm concerned, the sooner the sun wakes up, the better!!



HOLIDAYS

A BUNCH OF STUFF TO CELEBRATE TODAY!



HEY!  THIS IS NEAT!

POPCORN IN SLOW MOTION!

 

 

 

 

WEATHER

Better get outside today.  This is the one nice day we're going to see all week.  With a sunny sky, we'll get up to 35 today but don't get all excited.

 

 This is Wisconsin in January.  You're lucky to get one nice day.  By tomorrow our high will be no more than 14 with a 50% chance for more snow and by Tuesday we'll be chilled to the bone again with a high of 4 above. 

 

BIRTHDAYS

Happy Birthday to Dolly Parton!  She's 68 today.  This will always be my favorite Dolly song.

 

FAMILY

 

 

 

ANOTHER HOLIDAY 

 

 

HISTORY

Do you remember what happened in Miami on January 19, 1977?  It was a big event.  It had never happened before and it has never happened since.

 

What was the big event?  It snowed in Miami!!   It also snowed in the Bahamas on the same day and Key West had a few flurries in the early morning hours but it didn't stick to anything.

 

TOO MUCH

This is just too...too...much!  Ashton Kutcher has a two story trailer.  This, in my book, would almost beat out a private plane.  Notice I said...almost.

FOLDING

MSN had an article on their home page on how to fold a fitted sheet.  They've got to be kidding.  I gave up on that years ago.  I just scrunch it up and squeeze it into the drawer.

 

I keep thinking that there must be something more important to worry about than whether my fitted sheet is wrinkled.  Guess what.  At my age, pretty much everything, good and bad has already happened to me.  Including wrinkled sheets.  I'm just kind of coasting, now, until (as the song says) "the final curtain".
