Sweet Lawd-a-mercy it's been cold up here lately! Our apartment looks out over the Chicago river, which is eerily frozen as though it paused mid-ripple. Have you ever been outside when it's so cold that all the moisture in your nostril freezes the second you step outside? I am not sure that I had prior to last week. I also found out that Chicagoans named the cruel, biting wind off of Lake Michigan "The Hawk." I have never lived anywhere that had a pet name for weather events. Does the rain in Seattle have a name? It feels like it should, the tears or something... Saturday it warmed up to ~20ยบ and I felt like it wasn't worth zipping up my coat. I am told that Punxsutawney Phil is receiving death threats. Written in rabbit's blood they say things like "you best just let your beady lil eyes look elsewhere." Why they are written in rabbits blood I have no idea.
