Dave's Dilema

   It has been cold since Christmas Day. The temperature has been below 20 degrees for the last 12 days through January 6th. with lows single digits and below zero. We even brought Rusty in the house for many days without him complaining because it was that cold. We had to keep Minky upstairs to protect him from her meanness. The record though is 14 days below 20 degrees set January 16, 1912, though the week of Dec. 25 to 31 is the coldest 7 days in Lansing with the average temperature of 6 degrees. On Friday January 5 we traveled to Indiana to see Silas and Paul and to avoid the lake effect snow we took the toll road which helped until we got past South Bend and slowed down to 30 miles an hour and carefully drove through the heavy snow until Michigan City. We had our late Christmas with Jon and Sharon and delivered the boys their presents. The drive home was dry and safe but the cold has returned with below zero nights as Friday school was canceled because of  mixed freezing rain and 3" of snow. It's back to school tomorrow and temperatures should be back above 20. On Facebook Dave has been spewing tRUMP propaganda and I had to call him out but he thinks it's his victory as I proved he is the lost white nationalist who worships tRUMP. Did he say shit hole? Is he the shitty president? Time will tell!
