A "Bit" or a "Tad" Warmer

Roll out the barrel

29F when we headed out this morning, but with little wind and bright sunshine conditions warmed quickly.  Although I wore an ear band and gloves at the start, I removed them less than halfway through our trek.

I won't discuss the Heelers' behavior this morning; suffice it to say I'm absolutely disgusted with their performance--all because they heard people talking while descending LDR.

After the hike we drove over to the small post office on Union to mail a few bills.  I swear that the new deposit box they installed in the drive through lane is meant to dislocate patrons' shoulders as they attempt to put mail in the slot.
