Black ice, darkness, thermal underwear and freezing cold weather. I am so ready for winter to be over.

Remembering Freddie

Today it's 19 years since Freddie Mercury moved on to the big stage in the sky. Since the weather here is cold and the roads are covered in snow and ice, take his advice and keep yourself alive. Drive carefully.
