Who ever heard of a -49 windchill at the dawn of March? We're supposed to be having a false return to spring garnished with a few blizzards. The weatherfolk promise it's a dry cold that will keep the impending floods at bay this spring but that, to pardon the pun, is cold comfort to even the hardiest winterphile. The fine folks around here are dog people for the most part, and it hurts the heart to see them out there walking their poor pups in such icy circumstances.
At least my pet's strictly indoor. Perhaps if I weren't so lazy I would have gotten a dog. On the other hand, most of the folks here have more time during their day to walk the dog. If I were to win the lottery that would be another case. Meanwhile, the merry spinsters continue to hang out and try not to get on each other's nerves. At least, one of us is trying....
I'm continuing with something I messed around with in previous years. I hope to keep it going.

March 4, 1994
Today when I got home, I was told by
my parents that actor John Candy had passed away after having a heart attack.
It really shocked me to hear that, I have been a fan of John Candy for a long
time. However, his weight was higher than it should have been, the doctors
think that’s
what caused the heart attack. Not only was this actor very good, he was also a
Canadian, and that adds to my sorrow. Needless to say, this has been a sad
March the fourth evening Goodbye John Candy, I miss you.
Later days... and hopefully warmer days!
