A balmy 12 degs. I think maybe it's you who are barmy, if you think 12 degs is O.K .   
Me I have gone into panic mode as it is in the low 30's tonight. I have my socks and hot water bottle in bed with me. !!!  Oh the glamour of my life. From pigs feet to cold feet.

They will be forming a queue if word gets out. Would not be at all surprised if I was beating all the amorous males off with a stick.  Hmmm maybe it's me that is barmy !!!

I lived in South Florida for a couple of years. The Fort Lauderdale area. The thing about Florida is the houses are not built for cold weather. I remember in our house we only had a little wall heater in the bathroom and several other rooms. They do not sell heavy jackets and winter clothes in Florida. So when it gets cold down there, people REALLY ARE cold. That's what people up North don't understand about it. We had a really bad cold snap when I was living down there. I remember one day it was colder in Miami than in Juneau, Alaska. If I remember correctly, Miami was 34 F and Juneau was 38 or 39 F. Totally weird. And we were FREEZING.

Stay warm Fiona, and keep the water bottles filled with hot water. Hopefully this cold spell will end soon.

The same thing can be said for the houses in Indiana too. They are built for cold weather, but not sub zero temperatures. I can feel the cold right now. It is coming through the walls.

It is now 6 F outside and I can hear the wind howling. I feel like climbing into bed with lots of warm blankets and a good book and hibernating until spring time.

Wake me up when it's April!

Aren't these pictures beautiful?




These are deep space pictures of four stars plowing through dense interstellar gas. The result is arrowhead like formations called "bow shocks".

I love those colors. They remind me of the black lights and florescent posters we had back in the 1970s. I'd love to have a whole room decorated in those colors. Flip a switch and the floor, walls and ceiling begin glowing in that purple-blue color. I would love a room like that.

I will have been the moderator of the Polling Place for two years next month. But it's an easy forum to moderate. ODT is a huge forum and it really needs at least a couple of people. I really don't know how Jess managed it on her own for so long.

Thanks Chuck!
