SOOOO COLD. If you are reading this in the distant future, know that in the middle of this week a polar vortex descended on the midwest. I am pretty sure that Wednesday was the coldest I have ever experienced. Jobu and I were staying snugly and warm in the apartment. I did decide I should at least experience the supper cold a little bit. So I bundled up and went to throw out the garbage and check the mail. It didn’t actually seem that cold. I mean not much colder than when I had been out when it was about 40 degrees cooler. I had to take off my glove to get my key into the mailbox. My hand didn’t freeze off. About a minute after I got back inside my hand started feeling all warm like my body was trying to warm it back up.
My coworker came up with a plausible theory. We are only capable of sensing about 0 degrees F so anything below that just feels like 0. It’s like how my cheese making thermometer only goes up to like 150, anything above that just registers as 150.
It warmed up a lot by the end of the week and everything got Foggy.
The cold killed my car. Even though it was warmer on Thursday it wouldn’t start. Then it wouldn’t start on Saturday. Looks like the battery is old.
The superb owl was boring. I made some pretty good smokey wings though.
