and the bloody bloody wind.
Can you ever be ready for a Midwest winter?
Not me. I guess I’ve always just waited for it to show and just leaned into it.

It must be handy having your shoulders already up around your ears since it takes less energy to cringe.
Indeed.
That sounds like a back side compliment.
Yes, the express train is coming across the prairie at break neck speed.
Only think worse than being out in it is trying to do something out in it.
When I was a wee sprog in SW So.Dak. we used to love it when the wind blew in the winter. After school I could open my coat, hold it out with my hands and sail home sliding on the icy sidewalk. Po’ kids can have fun too.
Gets any colder ’round here, I’m gonna think my ex-wife is in town.

Didn’t used to bother me. But at 54, I am starting to feel it in my bones.
Florida is starting to look really good.
Problem is in Florida you trade snow for bugs.
You can kill bugs. You can only put so much clothing on.
Didn’t like the cold as a kid (born and raised in Northern Illinois…hey, we all have our crosses…). Didn’t like the cold of working/walking in my Dad’s “blast freezer”, at his old meat locker/butcher shop. Didn’t like the cold/constantly blowing winter in Iceland (the first place the Navy sent me, upon completion of my training schools).
Yet here I am back in the hinterlands of Northern Illinois…would prefer Texas…Az…or Fla…it appears the good Lord has other plans. Or he is getting me used to what a “cold day in hell” really feels like!
Guy, I wish I didn’t know exactly what you mean.
