>>Greetings from Lake Wobegon or wherever the heck I am.
>>It must be Minnesota...can't be Florida.
>>It's thirty-darn-cold-degrees outside.  That's three-oh!
>>I just went out for a little walk, with down jacket, insulated
>>gloves, and fleece headband.
>>My eyes were watering and I was afraid I'd get icicles on my
>>eyelashes and go blind.
>>So I came back after 20 minutes.  So much for that.
>>Next thing you know we'll have snow.
