I Kicked Winter's Ass

[brocktonblockbust]

Despite the cold, we still have flu season. Flu shots are widely available for free. I never get them.

I dont either. My parents do and seems to lessen the impact a bit but they still get it .


We had some weird thing go around a month back, slight tickle for a day,sneezing for a day, then throat sore for a week or more then into the lungs, temperature and sickness hit and then coughing up to 6 weeks later for some people!

super-germs are evolving and finding ways to fuck us over. We just had this thing go round last week:

1. tickling and pinching in the lowest part of the throat near the breast bone
2. throat begins dripping/post nasal drip
3. throat starts burning higher up near adam's apple
4. head becomes congested and wicked sneezing starts, convulsing the whole body until after 24 hrs of it your whole back and sides and diapragm area is sore as shit as the muscles have been herked and jerked with about 60 sneezes, violent ones
5. headache comes on from so much sneezing then coughing comes on, not much phlegm but a dry cough and the throat tightens up like laryngitis
6. major cough descends into the bronchial tubes
7. eyes become red like pink-eye
8. finally subsides after 8 days

I blame Obama.

exactly fuck his ass, little bitch, fuck his ass. Fuck Barry's ass.

Gitchi gitchi KISINA! BRRRRRRRRRR !

It's very, very COLD! BRRRRRRRRR !

-42.5 Celsius this morning (44 Below Fahrenheit). Jan 2, 2014. Temiskaming Shores, Ontario area.
Windchill was bringing it to -52 C (62 Below F).



...So naturally I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood as soon as I woke this morning.
An old tradition of mine, been doing it since about 1988 maybe, a walk at the coldest time, the sound of snow crunching under your boots.
25 min walk, eyebrows had time to turn frosty. In that short time, it warmed up a couple degrees from the sun burning through the fog.




It's midday now, warmed up to -27 C (-16 F).
We only get this cold snap for maybe 5 to 10 days in Jan. It's usually not as cold as that regularly in Winter here. -21 C is about average (6 below F). It's not bad, just dress right is all.

Many wild creatures in the forest will have perished last night. Other creatures will benefit from that.

My 9 year old took the pic of my frosted eyebrows and eyelashes.


Ni zagiton nidukim.
I love this land.
