Yep, it is true. We are in a deep freeze here in KC. If you saw the American Idol tryouts tonight on tv, you would know that cold weather is the least of our problems. We have some seriously dentally challenged friends here in the "Red Meat Capital of the World."
I like winter for the Koi Pond because I don't have to buy fish food for six months. I don't like it because while it is beautiful, it is hard to keep a hole in the ice for the fish. :)
