Was 80 degrees for the Super Bowl. Then it dropped 50 degrees the next day. We also had 90 mph winds which caused some damage to the surrounding areas. Right now it's so cold outside that the building I am in is having a hard time heating. It feels like it's about 50 in here.

The author of that one is said to be getting death threats now; it's not as bad as what happened to Rushdie all those years ago, but it's disgusting to see this kind of thing happen to an author and any bookstore owner who would dare offer her a public forum.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-63466980866095970422020-02-03T15:04:26.780-05:002020-02-03T15:04:26.780-05:00Oh man, I loved The Hearts Invisible Furies and Th...Oh man, I loved The Hearts Invisible Furies and The Great Believers so much!
