After doing electrical work in a confined space, I needed British Christmas pudding (saved in the freezer) and a lie down.

Indoor Hike
Walked a few miles around Downtown with friends without ever going outside to the bitter cold. The Father of Waters towered over us in Minneapolis City Hall.
Someone Else Did the Driving
As usual, let someone else do the driving.
Trudging Through Snow for a Bargain
Made tracks in fresh snow on my way to Coastal Seafoods to take advantage of their 20% discount for seniors on Tuesdays.
Bedroom Set
Our bedroom set arrived in crates. It was built-to-order in a workshop on Chicago’s Southside. I’ve posted earlier about our visit to 57st. Design in Feathering the Nest. The crates were shipped to the Twin Cities by truck, then transferred to a pickup.
Rail Cars in the Mist
Walked in mist between parked rail cars.
Two Floors Down
Walked down two floors to our storage cage (where we keep seasonal stuff).
Old-Fashioned Hardware Store
Walked to an old-fashioned hardware store where I spent 60 cents + tax.
Too Cold
Woke up to “off-the-chart” cold weather. Schools, universities, and many businesses were closed. The furthest I got was the trash room, a few feet from our door. There’s two chutes: one for material destined for the city’s trash burner, and the other for recycling.
Staying Inside
Looked out the window at this scene. “Steam” rises off St. Anthony Falls in the bitter cold, and power poles recede into the distance from a hydroelectric plant. With the air temperature descending to -27°F (-34°C), I will not be going outside until Thursday.
