Freezing Friday

An arctic blast envelops our nice little city today. As I write this it is 4F outside, -13F with wind chill factor. To folks who use metric, that is -14C, and -26C with wind chill factor. Invigorating weather, isn't it!? It's the coldest it's been in three years here. I felt its full force as I made my way to work this morning. As a person used to island weather, I have acclimated to this place better than I thought. Taking up skiing as a hobby helped as well, because the winter does not seem as long for us when we are out and about enjoying it.

It's a good, clear, sunny, albeit icy morning here. I hope you guys stay warm whether you're here nearby or farway. Before I go, let me leave you with something to mentally chew on this weekend from Helen Keller -

No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.


'Nuff said.
