Damn, last night walking the dog just as the sun was going down and bundled up to the eyes I think my whole head froze. Took me a good 15 minutes after getting home before I could even feel my bum again, and I was wearing my longjohns! The wind has been EVIL. At least that seems to have calmed down some so it's not howling and squeeling around the corner of the house anymore.

Earlier Monday I was doing poopy patrol in the yard with the plastic bag for picking up on my hand, and the wind tore it right off and blew it up over the roof. By now it's probably half way to China. Every hour or so if the dog is out (he LOVES this weather!) I have to bash apart the ice that forms on the top of his water bowl.

The air in the house is so dry my clothes are clutching me, and my hair is either standing on end or trying to eat my whole face.
