My Florida fingers are not happy in 43 degree weather. . .

Can't get my hands warm!! I keep getting up from my desk to run the hot water over them!!

I recommend mittens. If you NEED to type, you can get the split mitten/gloves - though they don't work for me, because as Paul has long maintained, I have "chickadee hands" - I always thought they were plenty big, but apparently not!

If you must do gloves, put a penny in each one. Then it gets warm from the heat of your hand, and you can then slide it into each finger for warmth!

I am North of Freedom, so our "feels like" temperature is supposed to be well below zero tonight. The winds were gusting impressively today, though an inexperienced driver didn't know how to handle it and nearly overcompensated into my lane. When I figured it was safe enough to pass him, I glanced over and realized it was a teenage driver, maybe the first time on the highway - he looked sufficiently panicked!

I wonder if this cold snap will break anytime soon and if we might have a balmy winter for a change.

Speaking of dragons -

From the book - The Dragons Are Singing Tonight - by Jack Prelutsky


Once They All Believed In Dragons

Once they all believed in dragons
When the world was fresh and young,
We were woven into legends,
Tales were told and songs were sung,
We were treated with obeisance,
We were honored, we were feared,
Then one day they stopped believing--
On that day, we disappeared.

Now they say our time is over,
Now they say we've lived our last,
Now we're treated with derision
Where we once ruled unsurpassed.
We must make them all remember,
In some way we must reveal
That our spirit lives forever--
We are dragons! We are real!

Some supposedly intelligent people make the most ridiculous statements.

I know this will bring a chuckle to some of you up in the northeast that are axxxole deep in snow but our local prognosticator is saying we may get 2" of snow tomorrow. South of here they may get 5" or more. When they say the "S" word around here everyone rushes to the grocery and cleans out the bread and milk. I have never really understood the bread and milk thing but I can remember when I was a kid, working in a grocery, if the "S" word was mentioned the store owner would double his order for both. They were always cleaned out.

If the coffee in the pot is the consistency of used gear oil, is that a bad thing?

As income tax time approaches, did you ever notice: When you put the two words “The” and “IRS” together, it spells ”THEIRS”?

Why is it that when a vehicle decides to die (and you're your own mechanic for the most part) it does it when it's in the middle of a blizzard?

Speaknig of blizzards, you know the storm is really bad when they cancel the Pirohi sale at the local church!
