Once again I have a reason to celebrate retirement. Tomorrow our high temperature will be below zero and the windchill might feel like 50 degrees below zero and I don't have to go anywhere. Last year in New Zealand we visited an Antarctic science exhibit where we experienced standing, briefly, in a cold, windy room which replicated the average temperature and wind chill at the South Pole. I guess if I want to repeat that experience I can just walk out on my balcony tomorrow morning. On second thought, I think I'll pass on that. I've been watching the closing announcements scroll across the bottom of my TV screen and it looks like everything is closed. I do feel sorry for anyone who needs to go to work tomorrow, especially amyone who needs to work outside. On the other hand I applaud those heroes working to keep our water running and our electricity and heat on.
My brother has a funny kind of cold related problem. His little dog is, he feels, too old to go outside to relieve himself but the dog, being well trained, won't go on a wee wee pad in the house. I think time will eventually solve this issue (no pun intended). Cats are so much easier.
