I'm a real wuss when it comes to cold.  I grew up in Vermont, and have been in -54 F (coldest I've faced), spent an entire night walking in -20 to -30 range (hitchhiking), had to change a frozen/cracked radiator one time when the day time high was below zero, shoveled the roof off three times a week as a teenager in the 70's, etc..

Contrast that with being stationed at Pearl Harbor in the early 80's and spent extensive time in the Caribbean over the years.  I tried living back up in New England from 06-08.  Ever since we lived in Hawaii, I just can't take that cold any more.  As a Nuevo Tejano, I love my Austin weather (when a typical Christmas day weather is in the 50's to the low 70's).

But, hats off to those who brave the north.  I occasionally catch an episode of ICE ROAD TRUCKERS, and that reminds me of those old days in the cold.

As the proud parent of a recently recovered former teenager (he just had his 20th birthday (the last of the litter) - but still at home going to college), I have a hard time understanding anything shall we say more challenging than a teenager (and, by the way, I am what ever the opposite is of an animal rights activist).

teenager generally don't eat the plants and poop on the lawn...usually...with the exception of weekends (you'd think the bears would keep the deer away...)

What I want to know is, who is out there speaking up for the rights of vegetables.  Mary Tyler Moore created her legacy protecting the rights of lobsters (lobsters of all things - I still like the Dick Van Dyke Show, though).  And PETA....

Has anyone ever thought before taking a bite of a tasty carrot that you're biting the head off the mother of some innocent baby carrot?
