Same here.. I almost thought this was my year again, but apparently
it's a Fire Horse this year so they not only have a material attached,
but use the same animal more than once.

Winter is not quite over it seems. It's dropping to -23c (-9f)
here tonight. Funny things happening on the bay as well. I saw
the water level in hole where I get my water vary in depth by
about 14 inches over the past few days.
