December 8, 2007 

raditionally the 'Cinnamon Bear' was never aired on Saturdays. To keep things straight, I won't post them on Saturday's either. So stay tuned, the next episode will be tomorrow. And for those of you who say, "But you posted last Saturday!" That is true, but since the dates lay on different days compared to 1937, I had to make up an extra day somewhere, so that the last one is on Christmas Eve.

It is -27C/-16F this morning and I was/am tired. I did not stoke the woodstove last night and it was a little chilly this morning with bare feet on the kitchen floor, but tolerable. The cats, pretty much the little one, were being as noisy and as much a pain in the rear end as possible to wake me up. If I could have caught him without moving out of my nest of blankets, I would have stuffed him in my pillow and slept on him.

I need to check the root cellar today. I did not get the cold air return blocked off, which was drilled at the wrong time of the year, but oh well, it is done now. I need to stuff a bunch of rags in it. I did get the hot air out-take stuffed with rags a couple weeks ago.
