Oh say can you see, by the dawns early................

Thank the pagan gods of Britain that we don't pay for heat!!!

Tad parky here too. Went down to 61F last night and you won't see me in the (unheated) pool again until March.

It's been real cold here too- got down in the 30's the other night. I actually had to dress in layers- my short sleeve shirt layered by my winter windbreaker, and shorts. High of 63 today...brrrr.
