Hi everybody! I hope you're all staying warm and feeling well. By the time this comes out in the paper we may all be covered up with snow. I hope it doesn't get too bad. John and I drove up to Canton Lake on Saturday afternoon. He fished (no luck) while I sat in the car with my book.

How Did We Survive?

Our outdoor fancyschmancy thermometer/rain gauge must think I'm a clueless simp. It's not 100% wrong but how does it know? This artificial intelligence technology is getting scary. Anyway, I KNOW it's cold.
