It's shaping up to be a very cold winter. The latest arctic blast from our friends up north ... and to think I used to like the Canadians ... has us below zero for a
high today. The other day, it was -10 degrees when we went to the Y, but it wasn't windy. Today at -4 or -5 degrees, it's just brutal out because of the wind. Because of wind chill, school is cancelled. Bob, the Chicago boy that he is, said, "We used to walk to school in weather like this." Well, I remember waiting for the bus in Atascadero, Calif. on +17-20 degree mornings, and that was quite enough, thank you. (That was back when little girls wore dresses to school and our legs were frozen by the time the bus arrived.) I've included some pictures of "things I didn't concern myself with when I lived in San Luis Obispo." I hope you enjoy them.
