So, here we are, early in 2018. While our area gets cold, we don't get the really cold, the cold of Montana and eastward. Where we are, in North Idaho, 30 miles from Canada, we are in a bowl of a valley. That's why we wind up with mostly overcast days in the winter. We are also pretty well protected from the strong blizzard kinds of winds and the weather patterns that are causing the conditions in Montana eastward, a parked high-pressure system that steers that super cold weather up and over this area and into Montana and eastward. We are into, what is usually some of the coldest weather of the year for this area, for a normal year!

Just kidding. Your place looks really great. Glad your safe and out of California.

I am going to do another piece of research and illustration for my friend David Clark of the submarine "Intelligent Whale" for a TV special next year.
Outside of this I am being lined up for a bunch of book signings and for some of this I'm not too happy about. Damn, I could use a break.
Take care kids and I'll talk to you laterp---WEill you talk to me?
