-1 here this morning with a brusque north wind still blowing snow. Folks in Texas are enduring rolling electricity blackouts because of the electricity demand.
My pool has frozen over makng my back yard a doggy death trap be ause all the snow has made the pool invisible. So I have to walk the dogs out front on leashes every few hours.
I was kind of feeling sorry for myself until I thought of my grand parents who' at least until my late teen years, had no indoor plumbing and used an outhouse, which I’ve myself used many times. (good place to look at the Sears catalogue!)
I can’t imagine sitting my ass on that cold wood! My brain seems to have shitcanned those memories because I’ve done it!

Anyway, hope your morning is warm.
