More of What We Have Been Having

It is five a.m, and the temp is minus 4 and windchill is minus 26, and northpole wind is sucking around my building, and snow will either come back in this afternoon and more of it tomorrow. And Chicago and the east half of the US are getting it worse than we are. Traditionally we get a January Thaw with a few warm days but the thaw is not in the forecast from the Weather Channel. On Feb 2 the groundhog will come out to see his shadow, but so far I have not heard any forecasts of Feb and March. Hopefully next week those 5 million people who hope to pile into DC will not be stuck in an inauguration day blizzard, like in 85 or way back in JFK's inauguration in '61. We will just have to see what happens. The weather and the economy seem to dominate people's lives right now--with Gaza being down on the list of crises. It would be interesting if Adam Sandler could be asked on a talk show about whether he had changed his views, after he created Zohan, which was a movie about Israelis and Palists getting together in some kind of lovein. In about 1971 there was a cold spell of 70 degrees in South Nam that felt like an arctic blast in that area. No movie of the night report on, due to me going to bed early last night, after the comedies on CBS went way over the edge on their sex humor. I have a prudishness in me that seems old fahioned, but that is my rural heritage. This is going to be all for right now. You all stay warm. Di di mau!
