South Pole, Illinois

The local newscaster informed us this morning that our -23 degrees outside was every bit as cold as the South Pole. The South Pole!! That's right. They woke up to -23 degrees, too.

Now that's cold.

We're warmer than the North Pole. Warmer! They woke up to a balmy -8 degrees.

P'shaw....that's nothin'.

This is what one of our calves looked like this morning:

Smokin'.

This is what the farmer looked like this morning:

Yeah....not so smokin'.

Oh well. At least I didn't freeze.
