Not that I would want to actually “live” with my animals, but there’s nothing quite like going to the barn in the morning and seeing the horses’ heads over the stall doors, white frosty air coming out of their nostrils and hearing their “good morning” nickers. The smell of hay, horse feed, the horses themselves and yes, even the manure .... nothing quite like it and I mean that in a good way. I miss it. :-)
The city dwellers will be the first to die from severe cold and no power. There are no alternatives to heating without electricity. The dumbass leftists have eliminated fires, bbqs, or any other type of fossil fuel burning.
So basically, the Early Bird get the worm, but the SECOND mouse gets the cheese? *SMIRK* :)
Merry Christmas.
I woke up this morning and it was 34 degrees with a NE wind of 15 mph.
Somebody in FL forgot to turn off the air conditioner.

Merry Christmas to you & yours as well.
I’m jealous .... wish I had a Chuck in my barn!! My brother did send me an Omaha Steaks gift box, which I am enjoying. I think that’s his way of telling me no more venison will be coming my way this year ... but I’m ok with Omaha! :-)
When you live on the edge, life is exhilarating. I have been fortunate to have lived through a bunch of "exhilarating" experiences.
That's why I love that movie, "The Edge" with Anthony Hopkins. After you've been through something like that (or a bombing in London), you're not the same person.
It's liberating.
Heh heh... it happens. Works both ways too, do a little genealogy and the further back, the more one finds that most kids grew up with, at most, one of their natural parents. And, now I get a lump of coal. ;^) It’s cold, and was part of my plan.
That explains all the old flea collars in the Halls of Shamballah.
Yep heat is heat any way you can get it I guess.
“Hard times create strong men,
strong men create good times,
good times create weak men,
and weak men create hard times.”
That’s so interesting!
Thanks!
That is what candles are for too, if I lost power I still got a gas stove to light with matches. The young today could not handle anything bad today
:^) I feel like picking up some fast food, but I don’t want to clean off the car.
Call Uber eats have it delivered!!
Yeah, I’d try that, but the Uber eats guy is Amish, and he won’t take the horses out in this weather.
Oh, and he still uses a Blackberry.
Not the phone, an actual Blackberry.
I have gotten a lot of mileage out of that stolen joke, btw. ;^)
Just think of the satisfaction of having been victorious over the harsh elements of nature for one more day.
A now for a good night's sleep...and a little baby-making.;-)
In a one room hut filled with 3 or 4 generations of smelly, cranky, exhausted people in sub-zero temperatures.
And all those happy, smelly people would say the same thing about you then as they would now, "There's always one complainer in every group."
And you would probably be sleeping over in the corner all alone.;-)
I had to turn on the a/c on Sunday here in southern California. It was 80 degrees : )
