It’s so cold (whether you’re in Minnesota or Illinois), all my energy is going towards keeping me warm. I therefore have nothing new to offer in this space.
I do, however, have a fun reblog of a post from 2009, which reminds those of us freezing in North America, that what goes around comes around.
In honor of my dear sister, whose birthday is Tuesday, please enjoy “Cold steel”:
My sister and her husband, who live in Central Minnesota, were watching “3:10 to Yuma” together one evening not long ago.
If you’ve watched that movie, you know it’s a Western starring Christian Bale, and it has a lot of shooting, as Westerns are wont to do.
So, it’s a cold winter night in Central Minnesota, and they’re cuddled up on the couch watching a shoot ‘em up Western.
When suddenly! A shot rang out!

It is so cold tonight, the soda might freeze in the fridge IN my house. I’m over it!
