As I travel thru life I look back on the highlight reel of that journey
(i.e. meeting Eve, our wedding day, the birth of Tiff and Nicole, Cassidy, great
trips with family and friends, Christmas in Kemmerer with Grandma, my 68 Dodge
truck etc.)
Today I can add another event to that reel. At the mine in Wabush they have
a sign reading temperature and wind chill index. At 6:30 AM when I went to
work the sign read -35F (-37.22C) and the wind chill index -63F (-52.78C). Walking from the car
to the office is about 50 feet, the blowing wind is like a sharp knife, and it
hurts to breath. The cold weather never bugged me living in Kemmerer were it got
very cold also. I guess it's old age. On the bright side it keeps the sweat out
of my eyes, (a problem I had in Zambia) HA! HA!
