Nothing hits like the cilantro lime rice at chipotle.

when i get their chips and the batch is generously salted…that’s also pretty damn good.

I’m not a big cold fan but enjoy this. I was pointing it out to my son during the cold weather this week and he was totally unimpressed, as expected.

I grew up right under the flight path to a runway at OHare and the other noise that always fascinated me was how the sound of the planes landing got incredibly sharp sounding on very cold days. I haven’t been in a place to hear that in a while.

I like having four seasons, but last night it was -10°F (-23°C) and that is too much. But the worst is over, will be in the teens and sunny today, tomorrow we will be in the 20s (about -5°C), then well above freezing over the weekend. Assuming the bike paths have been cleared (they usually are) I’ll be on the bike Sunday.

We are heading into the 40’s after this weekend. I hope it’s here to stay.

Hopefully in about 3 weeks we’ll be in the -5 overnight +2/3 during the day. That’s like a pump for maple syrup.

I’m guessing we’ll get some more cold weather, but after February the risk of below-zero weather goes way down. And the probability of biking weather, which I define as 45°F or above, will start going way up soon!

More of a lol than a happy thought.
I was speaking to a guy today, about 64yo. I asked for his wife’s dob, he rolls it right off his tongue, she was born in 1982. I said ‘way to go!’. He said, Yeah I know right? She’s way younger than me.
I had to explain that I was congratulating him on knowing his wife’s dob off by heart rather than congratulating him on marrying a younger woman lol.
