doing the work

Geyser & D Street, Livingston

0 degrees?  I've seen colder.  But it was still slightly shocking to the system after fairly temperate winter weather last week.  I bundled up and did my 2.5 mile street loop down to H Street and back past the Electric Jesus.  By the time I got back to the house I was warmed up enough to shovel the sidewalk, despite limited visibility from crusted eyelashes.

Whenever I don't feel like doing the work, I just think of Rocky in Rocky IV when he ran around in 4' deep snow banks wearing a sherpa-lined pleather jacket, then I tell myself to stop being a wuss and go bench some ox yokes.
