As we enter what seems like the sixth week of January and the third ice age of the year, I think it’s really cool that little bottles of Fireball are biodegradable. With the serious side of the season kicking in, we have been spending more time out in the woods – some trail biking, hikes with the dog, etc, in the Pines, where the wind is a little less miserable.
