When I was High School I wore a beanie like Michael Nesbitt of The Monkees. He was cool and in a rock band and I felt I was cool and in a rock band (Wonderhorse). Everybody kept telling me my hair could not breath and it would fall out prematurely.
BUT NOOOOOOO - 65 and a head of hair that has not seen a comb for 40 years. This could have been the last time a comb touched my hair - - it could still be in there. I have not looked for it.
1972 - I was best man and that was my cool van. I was stylin.
Yea - this was 1973
I guess I needed a job in IT which at the time was not the look employers wanted
And then my prison photo KIDDING
And then I grew up and became an alderman
******************
But enough about me!
what about the nightmare weather coming. We are looking at 105 straight hours below 0 next week starting about midnight Monday/Tuesday and lasting to next Saturday morning. Wednesday and Thursday mornings wind chills will be near -40
Daytime wind chills will be in -28 range during daylight hours Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays
Did I mention a big snow storm Sunday Night into Monday? Amounts could be greater the 8 inches with a LOT of drifting with strong winds. There is still plenty of model differences on the track but STAY TUNED

Had another meeting with Michael Simon builders (No relation to Don Simon builders THANK GOD) on our new deck which will begin in a week or so . . . probably after NEXT week. I have no idea how they will do it as they need to put in new footings in the ground.
The plan is something like this but not exactly. Different railings.
We did not want to spend a lot on the house until we knew what we wanted. Why have a nice deck if we never used it. So many people have decks and we never ever see people on them.
Well, we use our decks a lot. There is one corner facing south that in winter and spring is 20+ degrees above the ambient outdoor temp. Last February was 20 degrees outside but that corner it was near 45.
Of course in summer it was near 100 so . . . . . a screened in deck with shade. We put up a canopy for a week to see what we thought of having that area covered. Worked out fine.
I just noticed that photo there is a speaker and lights in the ceiling. Not going to have that. One thing we relearned. Every "option" costs either $3000 or $10,000. GULP!
My advice when building or buying a house. Get what you need and hold off for a decade to see what you really WANT! Save that extra money for later and then use it smartly.
SADLY - one thing we wanted was trim on the back windows. That was an option but then they asked how old the siding was. About 12 years and they said WELL, it's now brittle and they MIGHT have to replace ALL the siding two put trim around the windows as it would break. Or not.
I guess there is more to trim then I thought.

Baseball season is nearing - I ordered my stuff. The stadium draft is next week but I'm keeping the 2016 version of San Diego which ODDLY is one of the better HR parks in our league.
Miller Park . . .oops AmFam Field (or whatever) is still a homer paradise for left handed hitters but the number of hits has been reduced. So lower batting average in the park but lots of HRs.
The real rookie draft begins in 4 weeks and the Free agent Draft mid February.
******************
A poll of Wisconsin voters found that they support legalizing marijuana, 59%-35%
Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci said that "the train has already left the station" on marijuana legalization and that he expects federal reform under President Trump.
We shall see.
Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) said he thinks lawmakers should legalize marijuana this year.
New Mexico representatives filed a marijuana legalization bill.
West Virginia delegates introduced a marijuana legalization bill.
