The weathermen were right on, when I went to church this morning it was 5 degrees. I am not sure exactly how low it got, but wouldn’t be surprised if if it got to zero. There must have been moisture in the air because everything had a thick frost on it, kind of pretty. Over by St. Anthony it was flurrying. Clear as a bell here. I will probably wait until after noon t o think about heading for a hike.
Went for a hike, it was chilly, but not bad. I was surprised, I expected to see bunches of animal tracks in the snow. Didn’t really see much until I got up to the Big Woods Trail, deer tracks criss crossing everywhere. I guess when it gets cold they must not move as far as when its warmer.
Listening to a book on the Lincoln era. The author, as expected, talks a lot about slavery. He discussed how the slave owners tried to say that slaves were better off than the poor of the day because they were taken care of. Are we becoming slave like in that we want the government to take care of us? We defiantly are not slaves, but are we looking to be taken care of.
Went to see The Blind Side, its a movie about Michael Oher and how he came to be a NFL linemen. Nicely done by Sandra Bullock. Wonder how many other kids like Michael there are out there?
