70 versus 17… Last Friday seventy, This morning seventeen, Below zero wind chills, Even Rufuz does not think it keen… Tis’ cold in our home, But old Rufuz and I will survive, Till the spring time warmth does arrive, We have little choice; we cannot roam… We pass through this life, it is said, but once, We are here to experience all it has to offer, If I were to live where it is only warm, I would then have to think of myself as a dunce, If I can make it through one winter of snow and ice, Then the next winter of only cold would be just nice… © ed ~ 1/20/05

We are here to experience all it has to offer, Yes we are, Sir, so suck it up - breathe in that 17 Degree Air - take Rufuz for a long long walk in the woods - and freeze your fanny off!!

Ed, it seems we had a similar experience here in Colorado, as it was a high of 8 last week and yesterday was 71. That's right.. 71 in the middle of January in Colorado!!! ...Michael
