That dog of my daughters needs some type of cover in the cold weather. He shivers like he's fixin' to fly apart when the temps get this low.

sunny 12* currently, with a wind chill of -9*F or -23*C. At least it sounds a little better in Fahrenheit. The wind is brutal.

Had to go to Wally World this morning. Great time to go there, since nobody else did.

I figure those folks at WW are the biggest contributor to everything related to trash, using fossil fuels for plastic, etc. Somehow, that gal managed to use 1 bag for each item I bought. I swear I bought 13 items and had 14 bags. I was gonna say something, but just didn't want to confuse her.

AT&T is coming today to switch us over to fiberoptic from copper. Supposed to 4x my download speeds. So, it will go from slow to less slow.

Didn't get up till after 10 am, feeling pretty good this morning. Today's the cold one, supposed to have a high of -5. Gonna stay home again.

Wally World is kinda disgusting. Something around 20 years ago, went in one for the first time, had American flag pennants hanging all over the place, some signs saying they sold lots of American made. I looked at the tags on a bunch of stuf, didn't find a single made in USA. Did find Pakistani clothes just as expensive as American made in other stores. WW here seems foreign, so many folks in it speaking something other than English.

Fiberoptic is expensive, do you get to keep the copper?

Read recently some guvment facility replaced their 4" copper with 1/2" fiber... 4"?!! Bet they recycled that. I've never even seen copper wire that big.

Reporting in from the South, at a whooping 23*, wind chill@ 11*. It is suppose to drop all day and end up at 3* tonight. That ought to make sneeking out for a smoke interesting at wurk. Mail is here, I guess I'll test the cold first hand.
