Odometer: 157 miles
I like contrasts. Warm, comphy car, deluxe hotel with hot tub and pool, -8 degrees outside and breezy. We’re in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, an old historic town, and the drive here was stunning. The countryside looked like an old-fashioned Christmas card with snow-laden fields, beautiful barns, silos and farmhouses. The warm sun beamed in the windshield as our car thermometer read 8 degrees and falling. Life goes on as normal around here no matter what. People pride themselves in that. There are no school closures for snow days, either. One thing is for sure- the weather is a real conversation “ice breaker!” (Please pardon my pun.) It’s the main topic on people’s minds. Frank tried to clean the windshield while getting gas. He said it was like putting the squeegee in a new flavor of “Mister Misty.”
Maybe when we play our first concert tomorrow night, the big snow storm they’re predicting here won’t be so bad. I saw the Green Bay Packers play football in sub-zero temperatures last night. Wow, that’s tough. I at least we get a heated auditorium!
Thank you, everybody, for your emails and well-wishes. It’s overwhelming, really, and means so much to us.
