I'm in the Northern Hemisphere and I've always thought it unfair that there seems to be a bias towards the Northern Hemisphere. How the heck would they work out a winter games in the Southern Hemisphere. Have it in July, perhaps. I don't see why not.<br /><br />I wish to thank you for your very kind comment on my site, Denise.<br /><br />You are very special, my dear friend.<br /><br />Gary :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-65680002471953280762014-02-28T02:55:28.085+10:002014-02-28T02:55:28.085+10:00Yikes!

I live near the Pacific coast in Washington state - it's been a little drier this winter for us, but it's still a pretty damp, cool place most of the year round.

As your pictures attest. It's even colder here than my favorite cold place, Alaska. This week costs for a new boiler, chimney and the oil to keep warm $9,000! Soon our old house will be completely new!

It's good to picture the heat and remember it won't always be so cold and wet and miserable, but sad for you all that animals and people are struggling in such high temperatures there.
