When I was a kid my parents used to refer to this type of cold weather as brass monkey weather. I never quite understood the reference until many years later when my powers of deductive thought were developing. After I got over the shock of understanding my parents could have such thoughts I had a good chuckle about it (including myself for being so dumb). But, it really is brass monkey weather.
The Nurse and I went to G-town Friday night so we could catch the Rabbit Wrangler's basketball game on Saturday morning. It was below zero when we awoke on Saturday and our car took offense at sitting out all night. It worked fine but made a lot of strange noises for a while . Unfortunately they didn't win the game. It came down to the last shot (which they missed) but the game was fairly exciting. It's amazing what kids learn to do athletically in the fourth grade.
We had a good crowd on Friday for the weekly gathering. Didn't solve any world problems but did have a lot of lively conversation. Mostly the regular crowd but LBB made an appearance sporting some new facial hair. TTS tore himself away from his oven long enough to come. He was baking pies that he was supposed to bring to a gathering on Saturday night. But, he ate them before anyone else could have any. Now that's cold.
Must go and fix breakfast. Hope to see everyone this Friday. Be safe and warm.
