On December 8, 1941, Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared: “Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – (is) a date which will live in infamy.” He was referring to the Japanese surprise attack on the American fleet at Pearl Harbor, the attack that catapulted the United States into the Second World War. As momentous as the attack on Pearl Harbor was, December 7, 1941 was also the date of another event of no less consequence for mankind. The first transports set out for the first extermination camp, Chelmno, which began its murderous operations the following day, December 8.
There are some who will brave the cold to see this hoar frost covered grass. And, some will not experience this frost covered grass but be reading an article about Tebow’s latest win. Interesting how some events receive a lot of attention while others go by almost unnoticed.

Lovely coldness, indeed, but also intimidating.

This image required me to get down on my knees. Thank goodness for ski pants. 🙂 I’m not that pleased with this image but will give it another chance on another cold and frosty morning. Stay warm!
