On Nature and its Wonderous Creatures

I realize the heading "More Information about Nature's Best Friends" might at first be confusing to some of you, as in all likelihood unless you spend a fairly specific two and a half hour period of the week with me you have not received any information about nature's best friends.

It is the kind of day where this story seems almost feasible and you must occasionally consider cutting off your own feet because there doesn't seem to be any realistic way for them to ever be warm and dry again, so removal becomes higher on the triage list than the endless cycle of sock-changing and towel-drying.

What is the Weather Doing Right Now #10

It is 16 degrees with winds at a terrifyingly steady 33 mph. This is the kind of weather God brings out when he’s doing dry-runs for the apocalypse. Everybody should say whatever it is they need to say because weather like this is a good reminder that tomorrow is not guaranteed.

What is the Weather Doing Right Now #9
