Well, here in Minnesota the weather has been unseasonably Cold.In fact, it snowed today, real hard for a short time.You should have heard the moans.The ground is still war and snow will not sty, but people whined.I think many people had this thought on their minds...    

I wrote a blog about going trick or drinking.Normally this is done walking from house to house.  (No driving)Now, depending on how many homes you get to depends on how you will feelwhen you get home.The fresh air will do you good, but is not a cure all.Example below.
