I think by blood is too thin... I cannot even conceive breathing in anything below -15 C


What? I've existed all my life--44 years--in the tropics, after all.

Hey Natasha, cool to have a fellow GTAer visit! :-)

Lynn- LOL! I like the Chicago version better. :-P~~~~

Aztec-- I've stopped making jokes about wussy Florida residents once I realized you guys have no way of really dealing with the cold. No heating, no parkas. Hope you're handling it well.

Very funny.

Makes me want to move to Canada, where the folks tend to have blue cajones instead of red state ones, even more!

Chicago is just more of the same, and I have enuf here.
