You guys are as hardy as they come.

Thanks, but there are colder places on Earth, glad I don't live there. The cold frigs up everything, pipes freeze, cars break down, tires go flat, it's hard on the older folks.

What I really hate is the cold rain and lack of bright sunshine.

[Alas Babylon!]

The cold frigs up everything...

That's why I am FOR Global Warming.

Seriously, we've all heard thousands of reports on the horrors of Global Warming. Still, there are benefits too. They never get published, as the whole thing is a scam to give Big Government more control.

Advantages of Global Warming

• Arctic, Antarctic, Siberia, and other frozen regions of earth may experience more plant growth and milder climates.
• The next ice age may be prevented from occurring.
• Northwest Passage through Canada's formerly-icy north opens up to sea transportation.
• Less need for energy consumption to warm cold places.
• Fewer deaths or injuries due to cold weather.
• Longer growing seasons could mean increased agricultural production in some local areas.
• Mountains increase in height due to melting glaciers, becoming higher as they rebound against the missing weight of the ice.
• Boundary disputes between countries over low-lying islands will disappear.

Well I guess the summers are good. We pay our price for living here every hurricane season.....

it's [cold] hard on the older folks.

One of the main reasons I moved from Kentucky to South Carolina in 2003. I got tired of aching all winter long.
