It could maybe warm up to 20 degrees but the sun is out. Yesterday, the bride laid in a huge cardboard box out in the garage all loaded up with fresh new piles of hay and the cats made it through the coldest night in 3 years A-OK.

This morning in 16-degree temps Catty Patty, Garfield, Nasty Mom and Ginger were all here for platters of warm food, kibble and water. The wife told me to bring inside any cat that seemed to be in distress from the cold but all were plump and healthy with sagging belly bags that are loaded up with fat to burn during winter. The four that are left here are relatively young and a tough bunch.

There's a full locker of beer here and since it's too cold to cruise the beach for chicks I thought I might diddle some races at my old stomping grounds.
