guys
are making me cold. That's why I moved away from Upstate NY, Too cold for this

remarking about the dew on the ground in January. That's does it I'm throwing
another log on the fire. Brrrrrrrrr.
Rick
N.CA Where the fog so thick it last til March. This is the place for those
twenty, fifty and hundred car pile ups you all read about.
