I think Toto thinks he needs to protect me from the loud machine. Poor guy!
Awww.
Nicole, insent.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Ooh, neat pictures! Reminds me I want to go back and see the rest of the country I didn't get to, and maybe in a better weather (it was v. cold while I was there, it being winter and all)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I have been physically unable to complain about cold weather since moving from Fairbanks, where I lived during their coldest month on record (January 1989).
60 below for 5 days straight, and they didn't even cancel school until the last day, when the buses finally gave up the ghost. Bastards.
However, I'd live through that again if I didn't have to deal with wind chill from straight-line winds like we get here. Not going to miss that, nope.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I remember being at a ski resort (x-county style) one weekend in Eagle River when the windchill had dropped below the scale on the Sherriff's equipment early on in the evening. It was a place with cabins and lodges, and your eyes would freeze closed in the 20 yard walk to the dining lodge.
They did cancel school in Milwaukee when it was in the -40s, not because the buses wouldn't run, but because it was too cold to have little kids standing at the bus stop waiting for it.

I'm getting the pig!
See, sj? Look at how cold it gets in other places! Our low for this week is only -6. That's nothing compared to the scary temps they're talking about.
And on that note, I'm going to snuggle up under the covers with a good book. The dog has three layers of fur, he has to stay above the covers.

Yeah, but it hasn't gone into the negatives here at all yet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ok, but... drier climate? Less achey for you?
Damn it, Mother Nature! Work with me, here!
Once I get acclimated to the colder temps, I'll be fine. I'm a four seasons girl and I'm talking real seasons. Sure, we only get 3 days of spring and a week of fall but I need the hot and the cold and the changing of the wardrobes and snow on Halloween and Christmas.
Besides, the weather gives me something to bitch about. I'd be lost without excessive reasons to bitch.
Really off to bed now. Night!

I need the changing seasons too, but snow on Halloween is evil!

What sj said. I really hate having snow on Halloween. Thanksgiving is fine though. Then, it's like the song. "Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go." There has to be snow for that.
