November 10, 2017 Friday#Keepmoving#Thankyou#peacekeepers#subarcticclimate!

Get Fit
Ok!  So I am able to play my DVDs on my laptop and still do the 5 I have left of those.  After 20 years of working out to these videos it is hard to adjust.  Always find another plan to keep your health.  Exercise is the most singular remedy to not growing old, I think!

Get Faith
1 Thessalonians 5:18  "In everything give thanks."  This is the month of Thanksgiving.  It isn't the only time of the year we should show thanks but this is a national reminder.  Thanking God for all He has given us is an everyday, every minute kind of thing.  Our lives, our families, our homes, our jobs, our church and of course our Savior Jesus the Christ is a good place to start. Oh and the cat.  God has a sense of humor too.

On this day
1979 This day reminds me that it isn't unusual to get snow at this time in November.  Mom was still working but Bob had moved up to Gaylord in their new house they built.  It took Mom and I 5 1/2 hours to get up to Gaylord, it didn't say snow - just bad roads.  It was normally a 3 1/2 or 4 hour drive.  On this day Mom and I went into town (which it really was in those days, not a city) for bolts for whatever project Bob was working on.  We went up to BJ's for dinner that night, a local water hole that served up a pretty good steak.  I didn't notice if it was still there or not.

1775 - The U.S. Marines were organized under authority of the Continental Congress. The Marines went out of existence after the end of the Revolutionary War in April of 1783. The Marine Corps were formally re-established on July 11, 1798. This day is observed as the birth date of the United States Marine Corps.  We salute our veterans of all branches!!

Hudson Bay Canada
Polar bear walks on newly formed ice in early November at Hudson Bay.
The Hudson Bay region has very low year-round average temperatures. (The average annual temperature for Churchill at 59°N is −5 °C (23 °F); by comparison Arkhangelsk at 64°N with a similar subarctic climate in northern Russia has an average of 2 °C (36 °F).[20]) Water temperature peaks at 8–9 °C (46–48 °F) on the western side of the bay in late summer. It is largely frozen over from mid-December to mid-June when it usually clears from its eastern end westwards and southwards. A steady increase in regional temperatures over the last 100 years has been reflected in a lengthening of the ice-free period which was as short as four months in the late 17th century.[21]  Bundle up!!! and watch out for polar bears!

Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!  Happy Birthday to Diane, Reba, Tim and Janet!!
