New Year's Day lunch today: hog jowls, collards, black eyed peas and cornbread. I'm good for 2018

Today's random thoughts are; its not unique to the Triangle but with
most of the country today......."cold" Sure its not as cold as Bismarck North Dakota
this morning or Chicago, Ill.. but anything under 20 degrees is sure cold in North Carolina!

Second random thought is "Happy New Year" to all in the Triangle and beyond, such places as
Center Point, PA and Circle, Alaska, and Times Square, New York, and Triangle, Virginia, well you get
the shape of my thinking.....so a Happy and Prosperous 2018 to all within the confines of the triangle and
those all on the outside of the triangle looking in !!!

I'd be much happier with 2 hour early release. Maybe some clouds will form and they'll panic.
