Alert

Wow,, -12 or whatever it is IMPRESSES me,, but God doesn't have impress me with a cold blast, he can kindly make it +30 and would REALLY be impressed! The eagles are really fishing this morning at the Coralville dam....Tasty, fresh shad for breakfast........So what does a guy like me have for breakfast on a COLD day..........??.............Just what Mom used to make my brother Rox and I eat,,, Oatmeal!!.. Hot and sticks to your ribs...........,or fat..............................

BIG day for me today, I have been asked to be a speaker at the annual Hawkeye Area Council BOY SCOUTS of AMERICA banquet in Cedar Rapids tonite......This works for me...I asked for 30 minutes and was told they would cut ME off after 5 or so...Guess they know me!!

Tried to pull a For Sale sign out of a yard this morning at 7am....right.... froze solid, so I just took out the sign and had to leave the frame. I will go back in July or so..........................s

Do not despair,, biologically speaking, mid-January is to low point of the season. THINGS start to turn after we bottom out for a few days.. The slow, gradual increase in sunlight causes things to change......SOONER than later!!

Think of those poor soldiers in our own Colonial Army who spent a winter at Valley Forge,, some had NO shoes, no coats, etc.. When their feet turned black they were amputated,, and that was soon the be fatal.....Thank them for their perseverance!

Brrrrrrrr......
