Records were broken Saturday.

Meanwhile - in Columbus we went 345 days, from February 8, 2018 to January 19, 2019 without going below 10 degrees.  At 6am Saturday morning Columbus dropped to 9.8 degrees.  This is the longest in recorded history ( back to the 1850s) that that amount of days above 10 has gone this long.

Meanwhile - I hurt my knee sleeping.  No really  LOL

I don't mind getting old since you really don't get old. Your brain is still young and foolish but parts of you do get old.  It seems when you get to be 64 every day is a new completely random pain that comes and goes.  AND I feel I'm in fine health. . . mostly.

My knees have always been loose which is why I work out. I've had 3 knee operations from sports.  The muscles are just loose around my knees and when I sleep JUST RIGHT I sort of dislocate  my left knee a LITTLE. 

Well last night I rolled over and OMG my knee went PING!!!  It hurt so much so was feeling sick.

So it's be careful day and hope it gets better.  OH and my big toe has a pinched nerve.  FEELIN GOOD OTHERWISE!

Watching the game yesterday  DJ says "is that a hawk on the deck"?  I looked YUP, a young Coopers Hawk.  So I RUN upstairs to get me camera and am clicking away before he/she flies off.

This was 3 minutes into the first game.  Halftime was just getting over when he finally flew off.  I guess I didn't have to hurry.

BTW - won $10 on New England.  I mean come on The Pats are 21-11 ATS as dogs under Belichick with Brady and 85-52 ATS as an away team.

So Trump started to wheel and deal.  sadly.

Offering something temporary in exchange for something permanent isn't a proposal, it's a Con.

Offering to give something back that you took away isn't a proposal, it's blackmail.

Using humans as bargaining chips isn't strategy - its extortion.

MEANWHILE - there was a blood hound that was let out to go pee.  Problem was there was a half marathon happening in the street, the Elkmont Trackless Train Half Marathon in Canada.  He runs across the start line and joins in. 

Along the way he stops to smell a dead animal and goes off track to play with some cows but always coming back to join the heard of humans running somewhere.

He came in 7th!

WELL - another very complex storm is heading our way.  A lot of moisture flowing north from the Gulf.  A warm from in the vicinity and a storm that is just starting to spin.  

Looking like 4 inches of wetter snow, MAYBE MORE.  The issue is that during the height of this storm it will also the warmest and there COULD be freezing rain and then back to snow.

The real story is what happens after the storm. 

Highs on Friday will be in the -2 or colder range and Saturday 3.  Then a couple warm days near 10 and then back down with lows near -10 and highs near 4.
