You think this is a joke. Give it 10 years.

And ten years after that, we'll be "printing" custom genes.

 

What, free beer? I'll be there in 5 minutes...

It's too far from you, or you have the free door can go anywhere immediately ...

I like that. I hate shopping at Walmart.

I already saw George Jettson do it.

 

72F today. Winter never lasts long enough here. I'd much rather be cold than hot. I would sign a petition to move Houston to Colorado.

 

I'd move New Hampshire to Florida if the rocks would promise to stay cool for at least 10 years.

The best thing about New England is that, if you get a bit warm, you can sit on a rock and it will suck the heat right out of you, but I wouldn't take that in trade if their winters came with it.

ps, 65 F to 75 F all this week. That's why I invented the phrase, "winter chores". There are things you simply can't do on the concrete back porch when the heat index is still 94 at 3 am!

What about mosquitoes in New England? I'm sure there are lots less than in Florida, right? And probably roaches too!

Not in my city!
Yes, it seems there is always one mosquito that won't let me work on my car, and if I stay out there long enough, his friends find me, too, but I've met worse in Indiana and Kentucky. (That's what citronella bracelets are for.) That's also a basis for Winter Chores. If you work in the day time, in a large city, mosquitoes usually don't find you.

Roaches are about filthy house keeping. I bought my house with a complete infestation of roaches. I had them wiped out in less than 6 months and now, any that come inside starve to death before they can reproduce. That's 36 years without a roach that survives 3 days.

 

I am very excited to bathing in the Rain.

There is always the risk of being struck by Lighting.

Just in case, keep the towels and the stretcher dry, to use one of them afterwards. Feel well.

 

I am certain that winter comprises December, January, and February in their entirety, and not a day more. (Remember, it's my calendar.)

I was basing my calender on the normally used solstice and equinox version of seasons. Plus your farther south than me so our winter isn't over until March, or some years April or May.

Maybe you are down there in Southern Ohio, after the past two days I figure this year winter should be over around mid June! Just took about 18" of frozen snow off the trucks. God I hate this stuff.

I am just being obtuse and/or stubborn. We have had snow here in April (rarely,) but I just like to think that the end of February means the end of winter. Plus, we usually get a few days of mild, sunny days in February that remind me that spring isn't far away.

 

...but I just like to think that the end of February means the end of winter.

Such a determination is a bit above your pay grade, tracecom, don't you think?

Leave such things to the experts, please.

It's the groundhog who decides when winter is over.

 

I remember, "April showers bring May flowers." but that is far north of where I am now.

In Florida, summer is defined as: Night temperatures never go below 70 F. All the rest of the time is what I call winter, Usually November to March or April. You like the 4 seasons? Fine. You can have them. Eleven below zero F last night in New York State! I think of people I know there and can't decide whether to laugh at them or cry for them.

Today I have 70F falling toward 60F at sunset. Mild wind from the south and a dribbling rain. If I work outside, it will have to be between sprinkles. Compare that to two feet of snow and below zero temperatures and know that I am in paradise today.

 

Monday Feb. 2... Snowing hard in Albany NY area, dang near a foot down here in my neck of the woods, and still coming down... Vehicles in the garages, plenty of kerosene and food... gas for the snow blower...for a change...

When the rain stops, I need to mow the lawn.

If I can swing it, and I have no job come about mid-month, I'll head down to Florida for a few weeks of sunshine and warmth. I won't go as far south as you though, probably as far as Pensacola, which will still be warmer then where I am.

Come down to Ft. Lauderdale and enjoy the beach. We can argue politics over a few brews.

 

More snow today in the Boston area. Another 10-12 inches (maybe more)! I have a photo ready this time.

No joke... I'm working on getting a contract job on Ft. Lauderdale. Haven't heard back yet.
