Frigid, friends

Well we just had our once a year deep freeze. This morning the weather station read a ridiculous 27 degrees.  The weather sensor attached to the outside of the house read 36 degrees.  I figure the actual temp was somewhere in the middle.  The truck showed 32 when I stepped in this morning.  There was frost on the windshields, roof and the grass. Regardless of the number it felt frigid. 8 years in Florida has made my resistance to cold next to nothing.

I am hoping that our crop in the garden will have survived the freeze.  Most of the plants I covered with empty pots.  The rest was covered with a combination of weed fabric, burlap, grill covers and whatever else I could find. And no, I did NOT wear a coat to work.  I refuse to.

Ali isn’t happy with my latest Facebook Friend, Sal from the Stern Show.  Sal is very funny although at times he does it in ways that Ali finds rather disgusting and offensive. I  also added Jason Kaplan yesterday who is one of the producers.  I heard them talking about their Facebook accounts on the show so I figured I would see if they would accept my friend invites.  I was sort of surprised they did.  Sal uses it to promote his comedy stuff he does on the side.  He has nearly 2000 “friends”.  Jason has a more conservative 500 people on his friend list.

I don’t think Ali has to worry. I doubt Sal and I will be sharing a beer anytime soon.
