....snug as a bug in a rug, all shrinkwrapped just waiting for a snow storm.

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.

Take bert with you. He needs some air. I was out early this morning, and
I am glad I am not outside now. It's 22F in my backyard right now, and
the wind is at 12 mph, from the west. I don't recall the formula, but
I'm sure that brings the wind-chill down to the teens.

'Twas a might chilly, and a few balls seemed to fly in weird directions, but a
great day nevertheless. Walking five miles tends to ward off the chills. As long
as I can keep my ears (muffs), hands (gloves) and feet (shoes and activity)
warm, I'm OK.

I thought I'd come back and find an apology from you. Guess not.

They weren't frozen yesterday either. Today there was a frost delay until 10:30.
Didn't play because of an appointment this afternoon. Will definitely get out
there again tomorrow.

Have you played the U. Md course? Nice course and only $25 for us old walkers.

mid 70s again. Damn cold today tho.

our high for the day!

Balls, man. But instead of 12 degree for a high, I guess it's been
raised to 23.... wow, a heat wave.

I got to the golf course at around 8:30. Waited until 11:30 for the frost delay
to be over. Then left. Crap.

Oh well, the dog wins. She'll get her three miles in today.

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.

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.
