Here in Wisconsin winter has not passed us by.  It's currently zero-degrees Fahrenheit this morning.  There is still no snow on the ground or in the forecast which makes the landscape pretty dreary.
But the cold and lack of snow puts me in the mindset of those who, on this day in 1972, found fourteen survivors of a Chilean air crash in the Andes mountains.  Two survivors had walked for ten days to reach civilization and tell authorities where the crash site was.  After the srvivors had been cared for it emerged that some of the survivors had eaten other victims of the crash in an effort to stay alive.
It's odd what the cold makes you think about.
