The Mississippi River has frozen except in the more rapidly moving streams within the rivers movement which have not yet frozen. The cold weather brings a sense of peace in being in a warm spot in a cold area. I sliped in to a dreamy deep sleep last night finding myself on a well worn road near a old seemly unused bridge. As I walked on it and was looking it over , as a good Marine would, it turned over a void and I found myself traveling with a group of peolpe down a path on a horse drawn subway like system. As we traveled along I saw a statue of Confucius. My mindset was that I was being called to an invitation by Judy's grandmother in feudal times. Just as we were approaching a castle complex the alarm went off on my phone. I had to wake up and go to work at Pete & Joy's.
