  Chris whinges about a mild late winter day: I'll take the 110F summers, thanks. Frozen stuff falling from the sky is just plain wrong. The GloranthaCon held in Toronto in February convinced me that more than one day per year below freezing is way too many. I made the nearly fatal mistake of walking a block from the hotel to eat chinese food. It was OK on the way there. On the way back, my tummy full of tasty things I couldn't identify, the 30 mph wind sheared away all the the pleasure of the meal. In Toronto, I would probably die faster than a Yankee in a Permian Basin football practice. I can't imagine living further north than that. Do you guys inject the anti-freeze intravenously?    

  You guys do carry on so about a smidge of cold. Granted, you may not have had proper gear, as you're not likely to need it in Dallas. Nevertheless, I've been hearing this for the past four years, and the facts haven't changed. It was a normal weekend in March. Didn't you check the forecast before you came? And, yes, I can well believe that there was something of a wind tunnel effect between the buildings. Again, as Dallas is a modern city, I'm sure you're aware that this happens. Try the stiff upper lip for once, it's so becoming!   Understudying for Atanarjuat
