A SNOW-LESS Winter in Bahstin...

As a kid growing up in Chicago, I recall too many of those "true zeros" and with the wind chill factor, these zeros suddenly became something like -20F or even lower.

Too cold...

the rest of this week is looking a tad messy

we had a little bit of everything today --

sun, rain, sleet, snow, wind, 2 or 3 blinding squalls, lightning+thunder...

It was quite fun to watch!

61ºF, rainy & windy today in beantown.

leftover white-shite?
all melted!

Don't get too happy -- we had the crazy-warm (and windy) day yesterday and now it's hovering around freezing with more white stuff coming down.

hate when that happens.

they're showing cold and dry for the rest of the week here...

40's yesterday, wicked windy and cold today, minus 4 tomorrow morning with highs in the teens, 40s by the weekend. Can anyone say, "flu season"?

yeah, we can...

I got the flu vaccine, I got the flu vaccine..... <does a jig>

don't think i ever had the flu either...

never ever?

I got the flu vaccine, I got the flu vaccine, I got the flu vaccine.











I've got the flu, I've got the flu, I've got the flu.

oh ****

Well, maybe not. I dunno. But it feels lousy.

On Thursday and Friday, my throat caught fire.

Saturday and Sunday my lungs were congested and dedicated
themselves to producing vile semi-liquid substances.

Today my sinuses and inner ears are hosting the party.

Yuck! Feel better soon......

hope you get well soon, George...

i've had other stuff, but don't think i ever had The Flu.

had a couple doozy bouts with strep throat in my teens.
one summer i didn't know i had it for a few months.
lost a bunch of weight, but otherwise felt ok.
as soon as i was diagnosed, i start feeling like crap

Feel better, George!

I also got a flu shot. Hmmm.

I got my first ever flu shot last fall. If I get my first ever flu, I'm going to be pissed.

6-12 inches of snow this Friday.
