On Thursday of this past week, Julie and I went out to the car to go to work; it was one degree outside. By the time wee had gotten into work (1 hour and 15 minutes later,) it had risen all the way to three degrees. (Now that's Fahrenheit, not Celcius.) The clodest temperature in Fairfield this week was -9 degrees. (By the way, just in case you are sitting there and wondering, that's very, very cold.) Whether we want it or not - Winter has arrived and there is no turning back now.
On a more positive note, Christmas is around the corner as well. Our little town has decorated itself and it looks wonderful, especially at night. Could you imagine an Oregon town hangingg christmas lights, weaths, snowflakes, and bells throughout town. The little high school also has a Secret Santa drawing. All of the teachers and kidsinthe high school enter their names and get drawn. With Oregon being the "Land of the Liberals," could you imagine the monsterous uproar that would be caused by something like this? The ACLU would be here filing suits and injunctions. One more reason we're happy to be here in Idaho. The freedom to worship without crack-pot, liberal, nut-cases making a huge stink about everything.
