We haven't gotten real cold this year, yet, we've had some wicked windy days, though. Today being one of them, I walked home from work (about 3.5 blocks) and was exhausted from walking against the wind by the time I got home.WWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197522956439691745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-86603522118855141032017-12-13T16:35:37.827-05:002017-12-13T16:35:37.827-05:00"visionary thinking" - maybe I change th..."visionary thinking" - maybe I change the background color of my blog?
