BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Currently it is 32 degrees here with a wind chill of 26. The terrible storm that lashed Seattle and Portland has apparently stalled about 30 miles off shore. So we have clear skies and plunging temperatures. I just returned from walking the dork dog. Everything seemed to crunch under our feet: the sidewalk, the leaves, the grass. The cars and the ground are all covered with silvery frost. Something we really don't see much of here at all.

Meanwhile...World Cup Ski Finals are CANCELLED because it's Spring in the Alps and too warm to even make artificial snow.

Hey, Dubya...I got yer Global Warming...RIGHT HERE.

I need cocoa before I head out to work. I'm already frozen solid!

<-- cold wimp!

(That's what 16 years in the Bay Area does to one.)
