Ten Below Zero

There are very few reasons why one would walk outside naked when it is ten below zero, but Mike and I both did just that this morning.  Thank goodness our hot tub is just out the door!!  Slipping into the 104 degree water, a ring around the moon, and steam freezing to our hair, it was truly delightful!  I love our hot tubs (yes, we have one in Freedom too). 

Today's news below, hot off the press.  This is our town.  It is an amazing and very expensive place to live.  I have been working on 16 radios for our volunteers in Wilson.  Their association bought these radios with fund-raising money; ie, no county tax dollars were spent!  Total bill - $33K.  A local donor has indicated they would like to purchase a wildland fire truck for our organization as a donation.  They are willing to donate $400K for this vehicle.  Another family wants to say thanks and may put up $250K for a new handheld radio for every firefighter.  This is an amazing, generous community.  We have our fingers crossed that these donations will come to fruition.

And this week's awesome story from Prevention - we are delighted Chief Hansen jumped on board for this wonderful award!!
