That hat is VERY Shrifty and you do indeed need it.
I sensed your agreement from the future and ordered it last night!
I'm working from home this morning until the windchill is a little less brutal.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There's a wang museum.
There's a what now?
Katie says there's a penis museum. She listed that on the menu of things we might like to do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I finally broke down and bought a proper winter coat yesterday (I was wearing lots of layers until now) so I tested it out by going onto the ice of Lake Michigan to take pictures in the -15 windchill. I was nice and warm.

You are crazy. I was colder this morning than even the -16 days for some reason. There is crazy wind out there.
But yay on new coat. I got one in the post holiday sales and it is awesome.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm already tired of the jokes about Houston not being able to handle cold weather. All of the overpasses for all of the freeways are iced over. It's dangerous to drive out there.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Laura, I'll be in Omaha the end of May/beginning of June.
I wish I was hardy enough to go out and take pictures in this weather. The lake looks amazing.

It's gotten warmer but the wind's picked up. I found myself wishing for long underwear on my walk home for the Heartland Cafe just now.

I just walked partway though all the ice chunks piled up near the shore: [link]
Can you tell the smooth stuff beyond the ice chunks is more ice?

Thanks. My glasses fogged up and I couldn't read my camera's LCD display.
