Single digits in the morning around here, the price of no cloud cover and lots of sunshine. Of course, that also brings us the winter inversion, when the cold air holds the smog in the valleys. Hopefully that will clear out before the breathing advisories start.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

It's not only cold out - it's cold in the office, i.e., I'm wearing a wool sweater at my desk. (Admittedly, not the absolute warmest of my wool sweaters - but still.)

Happy Birthday, shrift!

It's now a balmy 18 degrees here in the hub. Which is an improvement over the 8 degrees it was this morning. Luckily, this is supposed to be coldest it's going to be for the next ten days or so.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why? It'll still be there in August.
Lemme guess: For charity? Perhaps pooch-related?

Indeedy.
We're trying to raise $25K for Darby's rescue group. Almost there, with little to no thanks to me. Things kind of got away from me this year.

I've jumped into nearly ice-cold water once, but there was a sauna next to the pool, which made it doable for me.
This was at a Russian bath house.

I did this at a house party around Thanksgiving one year. In Maine. Amazing how the whole pool generates a fog bank from all the steam that comes off of folks.
Apparently there was another party there around Xmas time where they had to cut holes in the ice to do it. I was NOT there for that one.
Why the pool wasn't drained for winter, I have no idea unless this was a thing to do for the family.
