For the life of me I couldn’t sleep last night. I remember looking at the clock and seeing 4:15. Maybe it’s the heat wave we’re having. Two days in a row with record breaking highs will keep anyone up at night. I mean seriously, temperatures in the 50’s in January – in Minnesota!?!
Things I saw today that I don’t ever remember seeing in January before:
Joggers, wearing t-shirts no less
Blue sky
People walking their dog
A picnic
Golfers
People walking, not quickly scurrying indoors – normally skin freezes in 0.04 seconds in January
Grass
Clean cars (normally this time of year all you see is a layer of salt and dirty snow clumps)
Things I would expect to have seen, but didn’t:
Mittens
Moonboots
Plow truck
Ice scraper
Zambonie (well, I didn’t)
Snowmobile
Tow truck
Snowman
Oh hell, you get the idea.
