That is so cold! We tend to stay around the 30s in Jan and Feb so these temps (single digits) is rare for us. I remember going for a job interview in Madison, Wisc. one February and I could not walk outside for more than 2 blocks. I had been there before in Oct and I wondered why the stores had such heavy sweaters for sale. I found out.

I think she wants to eventually run for Senate and after that bad Townhall meeting she had - she wants to boost her image. The townhall meeting had a few angry people who were against the funding for Ukraine. This sentiment spread to other people in the audience.

cute!
