rain_gryphonIt is catastrophically cold. Monday it was 40°F. Tonight, it's projected to reach -20°F, with a windchill factor of -50°F. This is the worst cold I've ever been in. Once, years ago (1985?), I was in Chicago on a night where it was -20°F, but the windchill was only -40°F that night. That's the night some scoundrel stole my gloves, and from inside a church, no less! Tonight I'm safe and warm, though.

Spare a thought and a prayer for the poor birds and animals. Chicago is parking busses in areas where the homeless congregate, to use them as a sort of temporary shelter. That seems a clever expedient. I think there's a very real fear there that they'll be finding frozen corpses here and there over the next few days.
I'm quite with the POTUS, in that we need that "global warming" to start kicking in.

Is there anyone over the age of twelve or so who honestly believes that Bolton walking out on stage with his brand-new notepad bearing the single line "5000 troops to Colombia" in large, legible writing was an accident?
