And now, the mundanity of weather.

The weather here in my little swath of the Midwest is a bit bipolar lately. A couple of weeks ago it was subzero (keep in mind I live in Iowa, United States, so I use the Fahrenheit system of measurement) and then it climbed into the 50s. It then dipped back into the 30s and […]
