Well it's January now. Walked to Burger King for breakfast this morning. It is -18F with a windshield of lower than -25F. Staying warm is all about layers of clothing. Hey Judy, good thing I studied thermodynamics and heat transfer in my mechanical engineering degree or we would never make it in this weather. Well, if I live through January the rest of the year is a piece of cake. Dearest Judy, this was not a good year. I made $6300.00 less than last, we fell $1200.00 behind in our future's savings, because of less income and more expenses. Our future's savings fell behind $8600.00 over-all for the year because I was not able to save anything. I am living on the floor with a blanket, walking, without a car and eating less to try to make-up for this fault of mine. I hope I can make-up for it this year. Sorry I am letting you down, but this un-American economy will not let me move ahead, even in my born-in-home-town. This un-American condition is hurting both of us and our future. I am doing all I can to be the best for you and our future. Our love is the extra nurishment to keep me going on. My taxes and some are paid so Mayor Sanders, Rep. Kevin Faulconer in San Diego and Mayor Cathy VanRisseghem and Rep. Don Klinkerher here in Little Falls will have their pay too. I hope they do their best to build the future for the better, for us two, too. Lets bring on 2010, Love John
