it's about 40 degrees and foggy. been foggy for about 5 days straight. The only good thing about the recession right now is I'm not having to fly in and out of here.

After all that you have experienced as a tough military guy, I would have thought that a minor earth shaking once a year wouldn`t even phase you. It`s such a small price to pay for living in 350 days a year in clear blue skies and sunshine.

Nice pix, Mr Munken!! That's cool how it's all blue. Like twilight time. Where are you at, in Sweden??

Mr SoCalli...Funny thing is the earth can shake just about anywhere. I think they had one down here when I first moved down. I bet it can quake a little up there in the Montanalands now & then too!!

BTW it's 46°F right now here in Florida... Brrrrrrrrrr!!!

I´m at 59°37'32.37"N 16°36'37.90"E Google Earth. I think there is moisture in the air that turns blue when it's cold. It was worse in southern Sweden this weekend. Government announced that you should not go outside because of snow storm, unless you really needed to.

No, they didn't freeze to death. If you have a willing "assistant," warming up can be FUN!
