“Go without a coat when it’s cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep your existence lean. Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see what it’s all about. The only time you define your character is when you go without. In times of hardship, you find out what you’re made of and what you’re capable of. If you’re never tested, you’ll never define you character.”
~ Henry Rollins – Musician, February 13, 1961-
A Pondering Mind 
It’s nine degrees in Austin, Texas, and the electricity has been off for nine hours, and I’m wrapped in blankets, and complaining, and I have no character at all because all I want to do is stick my feet in the fireplace, in which we’re burning scrap pine from Home Depot because nobody thought it would really do this. And I don’t care that I’m a rotten person, I just want the heat and the microwave back on.

Having the electric rollouts, doesn’t make any sense at all, especially when it is only nine degrees. Try to stay warm and healthy. here in Massachusetts, its 28 degrees and overcast.
