My Granddaughter was Selling Girl Scout Cookies Last Week


You have seen things like this before. I got this from my sister and it seemed so true. My granddaughter just started selling the Girl Scout cookies. Wouldn't that be a better project in May?

A few years ago we were in Orlando in January when they had cold weather. The thermometer dipped below freezing. You could sort the Floridians from the midwesterners by apparel. The Minnesotans brought shorts and wore them even if they were a little cold standing in line waiting for the parks to open. The locals had heavy jackets. The local news broadcast a "Baby Alert". Advice? DO NOT TAKE YOUR INFANTS OUTDOORS.

In Minnesota we still go outdoors when it is cold. It is bad form to leave your animals outside when it is -20.
