I did it!  Mr. is going to be so impressed with my efforts.  I crawled out of bed before him and Copper. Lazy men, right?

Those guilty weather dudes got the forecast partially right

I'm here to testify that the weather forecasters actually got a couple of inches right last night.  And that it is still damn cold here in our parts of the world. While the Mrs. was dreaming of a beach all day leading up to the night in question (i.e., last night), she prepared for the… Continue reading Those guilty weather dudes got the forecast partially right
