Yeouch… When I got up a few moments ago the thermostat was reading fifteen degrees outside. And it’s very windy. All night last night the wind was howling. I could feel it shake my little Baltimore rowhouse, which is made of brick and concrete block. It kicked one neighbor’s plastic trash can up and down the ally all night long like a child with a new found toy, making an irritating racket that kept waking me up. I wanted to run out and put it back in the yard it belonged but I didn’t know whose it was. Eventually I put in ear plugs. <\/p>\n
Figure the wind chill is in the single digits, the only question is are they positive ones or negative ones. Ah…I see that wind chill here in Charm City is 6 degrees. Swell. I was going to make a trash run this morning but I think I’ll just keep on working inside the house today. I got dressed and filled the bird feeders. Before the day is over I’ll probably have to fill them again. Feathers make better insulation then you might expect, but the little dickens need all the calories they can grab in weather like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
