Daily Grin January 24

We are finally enjoying some milder temperatures. It's 18F right now and will go up to 32F overnite. The downside to that is the risk of freezing rain, which is my least favorite weather. Looks like this will be a productive week at work and that things might finally settle down to a normal pace (famous last words!). 
How's your week so far???  J

A Chilly Reception

A wool peddler in a small town very long ago pulled his cart of wool from his farm to the village market.  It was a long and tiring trip.  He had to travel around the perimeter of a large lake that was owned by the local tycoon, a notoriously ill-tempered old man.
 
One day, during the winter, the lake froze over.  As he headed for the village, the peddler realized he could cut two miles off his trip if he crossed over the lake, so he trudged out onto the ice.
 
He was about halfway across when the owner spotted him from an upstairs room.  The old man threw open a window, waved his cane at the peddler and shouted, "Get off my lake!  I'll be darned if I'll let anyone pull the wool over my ice."
