Crazy weather,

Super Bowl weekend. Mohegan Sun got a punch line mention and photo on last night's Real Time with Bill Maher. Warning: May be PTSD for you, as MS has punched you into exorbitant losses. He also lambasted my neck of the woods: "Atlantic City, Vegas with seagulls."

No Bizarro for the near future. Babysitting pipes and electrical. It’s 2 degrees out now wind gusts up to 50 MPH. Saved a bundle the last few weeks weather related. I am looking forward though to the Celebrity Dinner for Cancer research. Their 38 year the Foundation. Weather permitting. Invite for the Mrs and I. Joe Girardi and David Cone among many others will be there. Nice event for Charity

Same. The conditions are terrifying. I already coughed up $30 for a Super Bowl party, but I'd rather protect the roof over my head and will leave at the last possible moment. Maybe I will leave a faucet dripping to ensure water flow.

Is this the first winter you've ever experienced in your part of the country?

Just wondering.

Wondering also Ted. Not much challenge at those numbers
A few years ago, at my hunting camp in northern Michigan, saw 28 below. Both oil burners quit from sluggish oil flow.
Now that was a challenge.

In Southern Ct we rarely get below 0 or even single digits. We do get Blizzards, worst ever was 1978. Most of the homes up here aren’t designed to handle the kind of cold you guys have. Back in the early 1980s, I bought a 78 Chevy Impala used that was a Michigan car. It had a dipstick heater for the engine oil. Didn’t know at the time it was common out there. When you become a senior, especially going on or close to 80, winters are a totally different ballgame than when you were 35. Guess that’s why so many move south or west. Speaking of northern Michigan., any close calls with Bigfoot up there? I have always been fascinated by the continued search for them or similar creatures. I know there have been lots of sightings in the upper peninsula area of northern Michigan.

It warmed up a bit, so no faucet drip gimmick. Cannot wait to thaw out. Residence isn't greatest/newest kid on the block to begin with.

We actually made it up to 27 degrees today. . Solo trip planned for later tonight. 3 cent VP is calling me. . Mrs on deck for maybe Thursday. I hope.

Good luck Olds both at MS and with the weather.
