Sunday - 2nd after Christmas

The big concern at the moment is the weather.   It is so cold it is breaking records in the US.

As you see it is 14 below freezing in Dodge City, which is just north of Oklahoma, in Kansas.  About 4/5 hours from Shawnee.    And at 47 below in Minneapolis there is serious risk of frostbite if one goes out with any part of skin exposed.

 It is beginning to look a bit better during the week.

This morning there had been a bit of snow overnight, but it didn't seem to be icy so I made it to the 10.30 Service at Emmanuel.

Afterwards had lunch with Bruce and Rosalyn in the new restaurant in town, a "Gourmet Chinese" restaurant it is called.    It was quite nice.   Certainly not gourmet prices though, the bill was $21 for the three of us.    I think I prefer the China Buffet where one can cruise around, keep going back, and they have a selection of sushi and desserts as well.   But I always like seeing the new places.
