It's going to be a nice day, today

This morning, it was surprisingly cold. Yesterday's rain had ended, the sky had cleared overnight, and the temperature dropped dramatically. The gravel courtyard had the plastic feeling that says the gravel was not quite frozen into a solid mass, but it wasn't just wet, either.

The fog was nice, too. I like the way the studio looks in the fog, so I wanted a photo. I had to chip the ice off the car door handle to get into the car and get the camera. The rubber door seals make a weird noise when the door opens and they're coated with ice like that.

Kodak thinks this whole 'photos of the studio in the morning' thing is seriously goofy, because it interferes with his morning ritual of earning a treat by going into the studio, climbing the stairs to the landing, then sitting, then coming down the stairs, trotting around the work table in the middle of the workroom, and then sitting up and barking once. It's a lot of work for a Blue Dog Cheese Flavored Biscuit, which Kodak thinks makes the biscuit taste even better.

But anyway, that's why he's sitting there, giving me The Look.
