Cold enough for you? Any moment we'll be getting a phone call from the in-laws asking us if we've frozen solid yet. I've hung up on them for harping on the weather before. So it's January, big whoop. Did you really think it was going to be a balmy winter? Stopped off at the Home Despot this evening for some pellets for the pellet stove and got stopped on the way out by the local news looking for a story about weenies who don't winterize their homes until the coldest night of the year. Sorry...we tend to be a bit more forward thinking than that. Of course, we didn't have the heart to tell her that caulk really wouldn't set up when it's this cold. It's the type of local interest story that shows up when it snows too. Newscaster: "Why did you come out tonight?" Dumb guy: "Umm...I waited until we got 36 inches of snow before I thought I should get a snowblower." Yeah, we're snug as a bug in a rug. Anyone for some chai?
