Yes, I'm still here.

Not much to report up here in the sticks. It's cold,duh, -23 f this morning, which although it is cold,we've had colder,like -45f. But that was a long time ago. It's a feeling you don't soon forget, your face hurts,teeth, ice cream headaches, feet, you name it, it hurts. Deeply too.

The cold makes sounds louder, life seems intense,deliberate, meaningful. And it really makes you long for spring.

Storm to the south
