I read, and that is no joke, that the polar bear in the zoo in Chicago had to stay inside because it was too cold (I guess he did not have the same amount of fat as those in the wild.) It was very cold here too at the beginning of the week – the coldest since 1970 I heard them say. Today though it was sunny and 62 F – what a difference in just a few days.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-20263638272377608172014-01-12T14:17:07.833-08:002014-01-12T14:17:07.833-08:00The golden light so appealing despite the cold, an...The golden light so appealing despite the cold, and, I liked those jokes! ha, ha !<br /> lisa lewicki hermansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657725205665236426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-26478252121425030442014-01-10T15:45:17.097-08:002014-01-10T15:45:17.097-08:00yup, pretty bristly cold here too. the fish swim a...yup, pretty bristly cold here too. the fish swim around solid and stiff.<br /><br />"Scotsmen are wearing down-filled kilts." heh.Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251168248457758117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-36876432278562600632014-01-08T23:17:47.360-08:002014-01-08T23:17:47.360-08:00Glad to see you still have sense of humour in thos...Glad to see you still have sense of humour in those terrible temperatures.
