Most assuredly good news to me!

According to the Farmer's Almanac, this coming winter is going to be a brute. The middle of the country "roughly east of the Continental Divide to west of the Appalachians" is gonna get the worst of it. Our friends in the Great Lakes area, well...we'll see you guys in the Spring once the ice and snow recede. I suspect our friends like Shug, Fin, Turk, etc will be setting some new personal lows this year; I'm jealous. Here is an article from CNN.

I bring this up for a couple of reasons. 1. I LOVE THE COLD and I'm quite excited by this news. 2. People have been talking about it a little lately, but it's time to get serious about your cold weather gear. Best start using those extra pennies for quilts, pads, nuclear powered hammocks, whatever. A good tarp that can close-up may also be in order.

I suspect many a goose will give their lives so that we may stay warm this year. Less goose poop on the golf courses really can't be a bad thing, so go buy a quilt or two and do your part.
