Dec 10



Last night the temperature dipped to single digits in a clear night. December is the time for the Geminids, shooting stars on which to wish for money, money, money.

Yesterday I took a walk on the iced frosting of the cookie woods. All that moisture in the ground erupts through the frozen soil, just begging to be inspected like a physics problem.
Instead of walking in the woods during a day with temperatures in the low 20s, it is another travel day with a destination in the high 40s. This time the bus, the airplane, and the rental car will be the modes of transportation. Much better to watch the Geminids at 45 degrees than 8 degrees. Easier money.
