Kongo leaves America’s finest city yesterday morning under crystal clear skies and warm temperatures. Mrs.Kongo reports it was 80-something at the tree house yesterday when she came back from the gym. But now Kongo is headed east into the jaws of yet another POLAR VORTEX on the East Coast. What was he thinking? The trip was not without adventure.
