Cold, I mean COLD!

Geez, it is only early December and it is COLD! Forget this crap. Sure makes you wonder WHY we live around Iowa...I have known a lot of people who move south, west, southwest etc. I also know lots of people who did that, THEN moved back! The weather is better, but you really don't know anyone..Lost souls always return. I can sure see leaving for Jan and Feb however. Saw a nice head on crash on 1st ave today. Some lady pulled out onto 1st ave from 6th street heading north, BUT she ran head on into a car (SUV,, Mercedes!) heading south in the passing lane. Kaboom.. Just because you pull out doesn't not mean southboun drivers can see you cutting into the other side. Ruined a couple of workdays there..The eagles are back along the Iowa river here in Coralville. My dad always told me that he and his buddies ice skated a lot above the dam. I was and still am, afraid to try it. I would think the current underneath could make the ice 'iffy' even in real cold spells. Let's not do that. I suggest that you go to Coral Ridge Mall and skate on their ice. It won't melt!...Keep warm thoughts!
