low temps, but I'm not one of them. It was about 25 F give or take, with a breeze.

This morning I was talking to my dog, Sweetheart, for god's sake, haven't you had enough? Isn't it time to go home?... Is it time to go home yet?, talking like a crazy person on an empty street. My dog likes to stop and sniff everything. Maybe if we had done more walking and less sniffing it wouldn't have seemed so cold.
