Baby it's cold outside

This is the reason we bought the property in Texas
about 22 years ago, "today's temp is 32 with a
wind chill of a plus 16 degrees!" It is funny listening
to people talk about how cold it is, this is NOT
cold. 1983, Christmas Eve was cold. It was actual
temp of a minus 25 and wind chill made it a minus
100! We didn't deliver mail, but six of us went out to
deliver late Christmas presents, we could only get
three trucks to start. This is NOT cold!
We have a battle of the Bulldogs on Nov 4 at the
Knapp Center in Des Moines. Our long times favorites,
the Drake Bulldog men will host my Truman St Univ
Bulldogs in an exhibition game. Our local alumni
group will have a tailgate, at the Drake Diner. They
have door prizes from Truman, the usual stuff, tee
shirts, hats, pens. Two weeks ago we had a wine and
cheese tasting event in Des Moines. The medical
society reported today that we need to drink at least
three glasses of red wine per week, it helps prevent
colon cancer. Party on.

Put on your long johns, hats and mittens, dig out the
boots and zoot suits, shovels and snow blowers, get
ready because Baby, it is going to get cold outside,
soon....
