Guess I'll go play 18 holes and hope the ponds are frozen over enough to
bounce
the short balls up to the greens.

Yeah, it's only -4.2C, but the wind's not too bad.

Monday here where I am is supposed to be a high of 15F and a low of 3f.

How can you live like that?
A few lite sprinkles this morning on the way home from the gym. But maybe
60 degrees.
Poured yesterday after we got the Christmas tree in the Santa Cruz
mountains. Went to Santa Cruz and got some stuff at Costco and a pizza and
went out to Steamer Lane to watch the surfers. Only one standup paddle
board guy and small swells and calm seas. Should have taken the boat out
crabbing at Pillar Point.

Surfcam during the day.

Speaking of Christmas trees...did happen to see Al Roper, et al, asking for
contributions to NBC's 'Green Week' to plant trees in an effort to replace all
those cut down for Christmas? I saw it during the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller
Center lighting show.

Their begging almost brought tears to my eyes.

Of course, there was no mention of the fact that about 98% of the Christmas
trees used in this country come from Christmas tree farms.


What's wrong with a plastic tree, made from good old Arabian oil? :)
