We're getting forecasts for a high of 15 on Sunday, with a chance of lake effect snow. Good football weather. Might give the Bears an edge on the competion. Then again, the way they're doing this year, maybe not!

John, you have to remember who they are playing. Houston for heaven's sake! JB won't go to the cold, maybe the Texans won't either. Maybe the Bears will win by forfeit! Probably the only chance they have (if the offense isn't offensive ).

I have NEVER experienced "zero" in Houston.

The only thing the Texans are capable of now is screwing things up. They might screw up and do it to the Bears.

Right now 15 in Indy, weather.com says it feels like 1.

The guy just came to P/u the blue 72 chevy truck I sold his brother-in-law. I tried to get him to come yesterday. He's going to freeze his you know what's off. The floor is OK, but some air does come up around the sides and the blower on the heater does not work.

Oh well, you know how you guys are...when you have your own plans you stick with them because us wome don't know what we are talking about...tried to get him to come yesterdy when it was 40, he's got to drive back to Dayton, OH. a 2.25 hr drive when you go 65 mph. It will probably take him 3 hrs today....windy, cold, snow on the roads.....

Wake up has been subzero every day this week. Wednesday it never even got out of single digits all day long. This winter is gonna SUCK!! Can't wait to put the boat back in!!

We're in the middle of a heat wave, right now, though. At 1:12 pm, it's a balmy 14 degrees!!

We have a threat of snow here tonight but it may miss and go up to you Bill. I think that's all for the best, makes it easier to track your pet Moose if he escapes.

Jim-- I heard-- but they're saying it may track too far to the east, and just give us an inch or two. As for my "pet moose", He's in the FREEZER!! Matter of fact, that was supper last night-- my wife made a stew-- GREAT STUFF!!

Reminds me of the pet pig story.

A city feller is visiting his old army buddy on his farm. As they are sittin n' sippin on the porch the city guy notices a 3 legged pig hopping around the yard.

City feller...hey, what's with the 3 legged pig?

Farmer..well, let me tell you about that pig. Bout a year ago my youngest, only 2, fell into the pond and that pig jumped in and drug him out. saved his life he did.

City feller...Wow! That's quite a story but what about the missing leg?

Farmer...Another time I was out on my tractor plowin n it tipped over pinnin me under it. Pig heard me hollerin n run 4 miles down the road to the neighbors brought em back n they got me out from under.

City feler... Unbelievable but what's with the missing leg?

Farmer... Then there was the night the barn caught fire, the pig broke down the barn door and led all the other stock out. Horses, cows, other pigs, the whole lot of em.

City feller...Yeah, but about the leg?

Farmer...Well, a hero pig like that you don't want to eat all at once.
