I'm already having my hot tea as well, I'm sipping it as I read this thread, so I had to smile. We're having a bit of a thaw today so I was outside doing some tidying up with the snowblower to widen the drive a bit.

No lemon in my tea, though ...

And yes, I remember Alaska being admitted to the union, it was quite a deal, but I still can't quite get used to having vivid memories of 50 years ago. I finally got there eight years ago, I loved it, one of the best vacations I ever had.
