It's so weird how winters here are so much milder than where I grew up (about 220 miles north of here). It doesn't seem like a real winter to me until it gets below zero.

I was gonna pull the carb out of my Mercury today, but previous experience has shown that car repair when it's below zero is not fun.

tommy, I don't know how you did it growing up because today is cold enough, thankyouverymuch. I can't imagine winter being like this for weeks/months. One week will be plenty.

I was just thinking the other day about how when I was a kid, getting cold to the point of losing feeling in my fingers and toes was quite common (sometimes every day). I can't remember the last time that's happened.

Yeah, not only was it colder when I was growing up, but I was expected to work every day in that cold. Huh - now that seems weird to me....

Polgara and I just played a drinking game with 2 eps from S4 Buffy. There was beer (bad!), and wine (mine), and Parker, and Veruca, and not nearly enough Giles.

I just had a yummy flash of memory of walking back from the skating pond still in my skates with frozen tozen and Mom having a warm bath with Epsom salts waiting for me.

Lee, did you make up the drinking game?

Yep. We change the rules for every ep too.

Ahh Calvinshots.

Hee. Pretty much, yes.

Connor and Cordelia just shagged. Good times, good times.
