    Being only the second day of winter, I can say I am over it already! Tonight is the 3rd time this season that the state is completely no travel advised blizzard conditions. It has been in the teens below zero for 5 days and have a few more to go. I hit a deer with my pickup on Monday. All 3 vehicles broke down this week. Last night after the last one went down, I ran an extension cord to the cab of one and plugged in a space heater to try and make it not so below zero bad in there and ripped the steering column open to replace an ignition switch and key tumbler that locked up. And we are hosting the big Christmas Eve thing on Saturday. I could really go for a warm summer after 10 pm sunset bonfire. I surprisingly despite this am not in too bad of a mood considering things. So have a good Christmas!

    I'm sorry. We had a 3 in a row Murphey's law less than 2 weeks ago. Stay warm, make the Christmas Eve thing a potluck :)

    Tough when one considers winter is just starting now.

    It'll get better. You know, at the end of the movie Clark got his bonus from last year plus 20%.

    The pickup is running. Just got my wife's avalanche running an hour ago. And the car can wait til Wednesday since it is supposed to be about 50° warmer by then. So now the only hurdle is making it through 2 days of family holiday.
