Baby, it's cold outside!

      Here in Central Ohio it's crazy cold.
       I know everybody in Central Ohio already knows this.  I'm simply chronicling the fact for some future cyber-archivist who might be flipping back through the ancient internet scrolls to learn about life long ago in the olden days of the 21st century.
        So know, historian of a time yet to come, that on Tuesday, January 28, 2014,  in Columbus, Ohio, there's about 8 inches of snow on the ground and  the predicted low is 15degrees below zero with a wind chill of minus 30.  Maybe it's there already.
        That is psycho cold!
        Which is why when I venture out today  teach my piano students.  I'll be wearing my hat:

      It's one of Tom's old camping hats and I know it makes me look like "Duck Dynasty Goes to Siberia" but at this point I'm beyond caring.  So are  Tom and Tommy, both of whom wear similar hats:

and so, apparently are Theresa in Cincinnati and Claire in Chicago and their respective significant others, all of whom are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the"D.D.G.T.S.' hats I just bought and sent out to them. 
        Thus the only members of the clan who will be destined to avoid weather-induced fashion
disgrace are my Maria and her husband Justin as they zip  around Manhattan Beach, California, where on January 28, 2014 the weather is a sunny 72 degrees.         
     And so, it is on such a winter's day, future historian of the internet, that shivering people in our
time and place contemplate  when they indulge in "California Dreamin".

Hi, Patti--What fun I have had this p.m.(now morphed into the a.m.!) reading your reflections on the minutia of life! I did so miss reading your dailies about your 'march' across Spain so this is like the second act yes? No? ...Well, here's something to add to your wintry record for posterity: Snow Rollers. Our local tv station website had photos and info on the weird wintry phenomenon earlier today. Whoops, I mean YESTERDAY; nevertheless, if you just google the phrase you will find images and explanation of it.
You know it's so rare at our, ahem, 'advanced age' (uhhhh, rather I mean MY a.a.) that we come across something like 'snow rollers' that you think we would have heard OF if not the details to know what they are...so now go look them up and ' ooo ' and ' ah ha' over them!
