I read the news today, oh boy.
As sad and unnecessary as this death seems, with temperatures the way they've been (yesterday's high was 10 degrees F, the low -2) I'm surprised there haven't been more.
We're giving Jim next door, who works with homeless people, some of our less-used clothing. That's a very minimal effort to make, but better than nothing.
A few days ago this was open water
When the temperature dropped last weekend, it took only about a day for the previously open lake to ice over. The water temperature must have been right around 32 degrees, because it happened literally overnight.

How strange is this?
An icon of high-tech gadgetry tricked out in a "natural" look. Somehow it just seems wrong to me. According to public radio's Marketplace there are people making money custom-building wood cases for computers and other electronic gear.
Personal preference, obviously, but seems weird to me.
