Maybe just maimed ?
It looks like it might be limping along nicely.
A cold morning kind of limp.

Thirty degrees this morning, with wind-chill, twenty-one.

Grey skies, heavy fog, clouds about ready to drop some stuff.

Compared with this time last week, this is heaven; the world's habitable.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I must confess to missing the worst of it.

Last Sunday we got the worst day of our last cold spell.  Well below zero and the wind was howling.  I care for quite a few ranch and polo horses, knew it was going to be a nasty day Sunday, and had prepared, the day before, a real efficient way to get them all fed in the shortest time possible.

Got a call Saturday night.  It was one of the owners of some of the horses.  They were in town and offered to feed the next day.  I took them up on it.  Felt bad, though, because they've been in TX, were only here a couple days, and I knew they were even less used to what was coming than I was.

I assuaged my feelings of guilt with a nice breakfast of sausage, eggs, and hashbrowns while they must have been feeding.   :-)

Tomorrow is going to be 40 above.  I have bales of hay to move and it's going to be T-shirt weather, for sure!
