The Frost Bites

While anthropogenic global warming is a real joke except to those profiting by perpetuating the myth, the cold snap gripping almost all the continental United States is deadly serious. Restating the obvious advice about avoiding exposure is useful, but it is what is less obvious that also needs to be addressed. I remember one winter, that was actually much warmer than this one, a neighbor's dog nearly died of dehydration because it did not occur to his owners, who kept him outside, that his fresh water kept in a large tub had become a block of ice. Please stay safe and keep your pets safe as well.
