Things are slowly returning to normal in the land of the North. Megan and Ned made it back to New York. Erin has been staying at Fran's family home in the country. The Bodine family usually has as many as twenty guest at their house. Fran comes from a family of seven, so Quinn's can imagine some of the chaos. The Bodine home has five Christmas trees. I am not sure, but I think they believe the trees attract presents. It seems to work. Each of the attendees buys for all the other attendees. Do the math. Twenty times twenty comes out to four hundred presents.
One of the last pheasant hunts of the season may take place today. It looks like a wonderful day here. Any skeptics of global warming need only visit Norht Dakota in the winter. In the old days when we first moved here it stayed below freezing for 120 days straight. Blizzards were common, and I remember one day when the wind chill was 125 below. In the last ten years we have had little if any snow. Bannanas have ripened in early January, and and Santa has been seen pulling his sled with camels. The gravity has increased dramatically here since we have been home. Our scale shows the Earth is now exerting a greater force on my body. Strangely the refrigerator is lighter. Apparently it does not effect metal.
