Day 1150: Blue sky!

It's minus nine!  Minus 25 with the wind chill.  Again!  Forecasters are predicting a changing pattern.  We may hit 30 this weekend.  Even with that spring teaser, this has now become the coldest February on record.

I'm up and taking a bit of nourishment.  Two crackers and a dish of cooked white rice.  I'll try something more substantial tomorrow.

We found out tonight that Steve's cousin Fred, who is an 82 year old book collector, had his house burn down.  He lives in Nyack with 30,000 books.  It's how he makes his living.  Reports said his hands and face were burned when he ran back into the burning building to retrieve his books.  He lost everything.  It's a very sad thing.  We have to find a way to help him, but his life is his books and there will be no replacing them.

Sunny Monday!
