...I think my molocules have stopped moving.

Grasshopper and I wait outside in the -30+ windchill for 20 minutes.  Then I made a rude gesture in the direction the bus SHOULD have come from and went to warm up the car.

It took three minutes to warm up the car, twenty minutes to drive to the school, five minutes to wait in the traffic circle, and another 20 to drive back.

The cabin of the car never got warm.

I can't feel my feet.

One thing you can say about the weather in @#)%*$#% Minnesota...it keeps the riff-raff out.

[Update:  My mom just called from "up nort".  There, it is -35 WITHOUT factoring in windchill.  They watch the neighbor girl in the mornings when her mom is at work.  They drove her to the bus stop this morning, obviously.]

[Update II:  The benefit of having a home office is more than just the nice commute past the coffee pot.  When you're stuck in an office and you are cold, you are out of luck.  It's just plain COLD.  Suck it up for 8-10 hours.  When you are at home and your cold, you can get some bread baking in the oven and the house is warm again.  Plus - bread.  mmmmmm...fresh baked bread.  The downside is, of course, good luck finding 8-10 hours of work everyday.]
