Do not ride a bicycle in this weather.

Like I just did. :crazy:

I had to go get a prescription, from a 24-hour Walgreens, at 14th and Erie.

I live at 38th and Wilgus.

It's 1 below zero out.

My feet are almost numb.

3. Hmm

I'm not being critical, but here are a few questions/comments?

1 - Why didn't you go earlier? I know it's cold, but it was somewhat tolerable earlier...and sorry if it wasn't ready earlier, just making assumptions here, since you didn't state when it was ready.

2 - No car? You couldn't get someone to take you?

3 - Dive into a giant pile of blankets!!!!!

12. Here in Ohio it's 4deg...I just walked to the post office to drop off

my bills.

The blood in my forehead was solidifying, I could feel it.
The snot in my nose crystalized on the way over.
Every breath was labored by the icy fog of frozen air.
I wasn't sure if I was going to make it back.

And the post office is across the street.
I think it was a lot easier when I was young.
