I like the Spanish language. I just answered someone on the phone asking if I wanted Pico de Gallo on my burrito. I said, "Un poco pico." 😀

Welcome to Ottumwa! ottumwacourier.com/news/coun…
Yeeha! It is now 4 above zero in Ottumwa. Compared to our record low, this is now 25 degrees warmer. Twenty-five degrees seems like the difference between keeping the house at 65 or keeping it at 90. THAT's a big difference.
Hi Ottumwa parents! Just an FYI: Evans Middle School re-scheduled 5th Grade Parent Information Night to Tuesday, February 12 in the Evans auditorium, 5:30 p.m. Meet Principal Zimmerman and Counselor Megan Wetrich, who will share information about opportunities for sixth graders.
Who among us has not shared a laugh over parliamentary procedure? Broken up over Robert's Rules of Order! No one. Ain't funny. Or fun. Well, unless you make a perfectly timed quip during Board Member Takeaways ... (So it's not clickbait, see photo only) ottumwacourier.com/news/dist…
My freezer at home maintains a temperature of about 20 degrees. Not counting the wind, it is still warmer in my freezer than it is in my car. Walk-in freezers maintain Zero degrees. You could go in one today from outside if you wanted to warm up.
Just left a 24 hour Warming Shelter at Salvation Army, 505 W. Main St. Ottumwa Nice volunteers from Red Cross & Wapello County Emergency Management. But those being sheltered were really nice, too! 10-15 Transit can provide free transport to shelter. Call the Army @ 641 683 2024
Iowa friends who are without shelter or have a house but no heat: Don't risk your life. Go to a place with heat tonight & tomorrow. A dog house, tent or car without heat is a death bed tonight! Ex: Salvation Army Main St. Ottumwa warming center open 24 hours.
