It’s Stress Reduction Sunday. Read my weekly post in the Connecticut Watchdog. Here is my CT Watchdog posts from last week:

thermometer.jpgIt’s cold outside. Here in Northern Vermont the temperatures dipped well below 0 degrees Fahrenheit last night and will again tonight. It’s probably very cold where you are right now too. This cold makes news. And people generate a lot of reactivity to it — generate a lot of stories, mostly of a plaintiff nature.

Now, extreme cold like this can be dangerous, so we need to be mindful of this. If you go to sleep in a snowbank, you’ll wake up frozen and dead. However, with proper precautions, we can survive the extreme cold as humans have been doing for millennia. A wise sage once said there is no such thing as being cold, just unprepared. Patagonia, North Face, and many other companies exist to make sure we are prepared for whatever natures gives us.
