1 inch of ice on the stock tanks yesterday, 2 inches today, brutal windchill, stay layered up .

Good that it’s not below zero, but I wait until it’s at least double digit degrees to leave the house.

So how long do we have to wait for the election returns to be announced? For the flag, I mean.

It shouldn’t be budget day without hearing Esther Golar’s budget song (may she rest in peace). Rich, do you have a recording for us old timers?

Nice to have the sun out in the 60827, but with that breeze it’s a fooler. Bundle up if you’ll be outside. As for the budget, JB is at least trying to do a balanced budget, and warning even his own that an increase here means a cut there.
