Hello everyone. Here in Minnesota the weather is changing.
Fall was and we are what I like to call pre winter here and that means winter is on the way. Many years fall doesn’t last long. Only a month or so if we are lucky.

Last year winter lasted from October to May. This year people are saying it’s going to be as bad as last year or worse. This morning it was cold and rainy. I came into work and immediately had a cup of hot cider. It has been cold and rainy most of the week and it’s going to be much the same till the Sunday. I really don’t like the cold weather.

I have an hour 55 mile drive one way to work and it usually takes an hour to an hour and a half. But in the winter it may double or triple or more. I have had a couple 4 hour commutes in the morning. And several on the way home. You may think dude get a job closer to you.
I would but graphic design is competitive and I also like where I work. The people are great. I usually go into winter with three days of vacation to use on days I can’t get out of my driveway or that the trip is just to dangerous. My boss is really good about me not coming in when it’s treacherous.

But the cold is bad and the driving is bad but the fact that I go to work in the dark and go home in the dark is very dreary. Thank God for the weekends. Where i can just stay home and stay warm.
