Some mornings when I'm hungover, I pause and stare at the glistening pepperoni casually rotating in the warmth of the plexiglass case and imagine the possibilities. I'm glad today was not one of those days.
Add Tobasco, Tapatio, Cholula or Louisiana Hot Sauce and you're good to freakin' go, man.

I never cease to be impressed by the line of blue collar, hard working dudes in Speedway at like 5:30 in the morning, loading up on hot dogs, pizza, burritos, and giant sodas.
Those guys are hardcore.

Indeed. What I like are the business suit women though getting the 44oz fountain diet cokes.

It was so cold this morning that I saw a kid in Weinland Park with his pants pulled up.

It was so friggin cold out this morning, any moisture on the face froze instantly.On another note, the A-hole down the street keeps his dog outside, not in insulated dog house mind you but a friggin crate. I went back and forth last night on whether to call the humane society on him or not, I only hesitated because the dog is a Pit Bull and if they were to take the dog, and he didn't make amends to get the dog back. I know they don't always adopt out pits and would hate to sentence the dog to a certain death.
So should I call or not?
What do you think dog?
Call. Seriously. It's way too cold for ANY pet or person to be outside and exposed. Pit Bulls are no longer automatically tagged as vicious. There are a number of them up for adoption at the Franklin County Dog Shelter. Unless he's a vicious dog, there shouldn't be a problem.
You could be saving the dog's life.
Here's the number for the Capital Area Humane Society's Cruelty Investigations Department: 614-777-7387 ext. 250.

Definitely a good suggestion below. But you are right it may be a death sentence for the dog and unwanted conflict in your life.
A little less of a conflict may be to go to the neighbor and very mellowishly? mention that "you had the exact same kind of dog" and that "your dog died a couple years ago during the cold" (all lies of course - I hope). Maybe that will change this guys mind. Sometimes it is just a matter of perspective; especially with pets since they are so dependent on their owner's attentiveness. However, since it is a pitbull, the family is likely white trash so you may end up staring down the barrel of a shotgun in illegal possession with the serial numbers scratched off...make sure you are strapped.
What I would do, personally, is ask if the dog is tame and if the guy is cool offer to keep the dog in your garage/spare room/basement for the rest of the cold spell. Then if the owner OKs it keep it in a spare room for a couple of days, who knows? maybe you will make a new friend (dog that is,not owner)?

Heh...I've got a buddy who's a FB Friend, guy works 3-4 months a year as a fuel technician in Antarctica. After seeing his photos the last couple years, I'm just not worked up by single digit temps anymore.
I have a buddy who put together the computer network at Amundsen/Scott base at the South Pole. He has spent at least one winter at the pole.

Snow on the ground. I guess I walk to work today. I hope I don't end up like this guy:

Went out to catch the bus to the office this morning and it pulled up right away (hooray!) and was completely full (boo!) so the driver wasn't letting anyone on.
So I said screw it and walked. I figure it's only a little over a mile and I've got a hood, gloves and scarf on. Weather.com says 8 degrees with a wind chill of -10. Yeesh. It really didn't feel that bad once my body went numb. ;)
