Minus Three

Feeding horses when it is -3F is not much fun, but has to be done anyway. Fortunately, I didn't look a the digital thermometer closely before I went out this evening, and thought it was three degrees above zero instead of three below. We have about one of these cold snaps every year, and each time I am profoundly grateful for rural electrification and stock tank heaters.

For the life of me, I can't see 3 above would be that much of an improvement over 3 below.

Rural electrification is the platform that got Lyndon Johnson into the Senate, if Robert Cato is right. We forget how much harder life was before electricity.

Anything below zero just seems so much colder than anything above psychologically.
