Bruce's Journal

Our temps are about 20 degrees below the average. We are at 1500' elevation and had low clouds on the fields all day plus a 20 mph wind all day long.

Low clouds on the fields. We call that fog

Mr. NOAA was a bit off in his prediction for this morning. Not low 20's. Past 10 now and it has warmed up to 14°.

Warmer here, 27 degrees

..it comes on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

DD2 and I are flying to So. Cal (no, not the fire areas) tomorrow. Sharing a suitcase.
She has all her stuff in and then says she needs room for her sneakers.
I ask why.
She says she is wearing her winter boots.
I ask why.
She says because there is snow on the ground.
I say she is not going to use space in the suitcase for sneakers, she can wear them to the plane. She has no use for winter boots in So. Cal. for 10 days.
"I am NOT going to wear my sneakers in the snow!!!!!"

I tell her it is all of 40' to the car and the snow is packed. No snow tomorrow.
She says her feet are going to get wet and she will be uncomfortable the entire trip. Then repeats "I am NOT going to wear my sneakers in the snow!!!!!"
I told her I can go down to the barn, get the plastic sled and pull her to the car.
Where is the ,,|,, emoji (if you get my drift)

Mind you this "child" is 23 years old.

<sigh> Loss for words... Have a safe/"fun" trip. Maybe you can leave her there when you go back home?

Im so glad I never had kids.

Whose child is this?

DW and mine.
In case anyone is wondering, she will be wearing her sneakers when we leave the house. Or, minimally, carrying them and leaving her boots in the car.
