I give up on trying to stay warm. I am going to sit outside in the cold and slowly die. I don't mind wintry days as long as there are only a few and then it gets warm again. I am ok with the see-saw effect of an Alabama winter, because the weather forecast always gives me hope. But now there is none! The forecast for the next twenty eight years is COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD. What happened to global warming? Can we have it back? Should I let my car idle for hours in the driveway, and burn piles of styrofoam?
Someone needs to invent a Viagra for non-reproductive extremities; my hands and feet are always cold. I can't even deal with winter at this latitude; I can imagine how pathetic I'd be if I moved north to somewhere like Tennessee.

Uuummm... burn the piles of styrofoam... and don't forget the ritual dancing around the fire out in the yard. Need to do some sort of a live sacrifice too. Wow, this was hard to do with a straight face. Maybe its just a weather cycle and its time to have a cold one.

It was minus 21 up here a few nights ago. We get it for stretches of weeks or more. The sick thing is that when it gets even a few degrees above zero, it feels positively tropical. You can get used to antyhing (and that's a little scary). Hope your knees are feeling better.

I don't think I could get used to that. I would die.
