In South Texas...as in south of Houston...it's NOT suppose to be cold! Well, this morning it was COLD!. It's in the middle 30's.

I know...I know..some of yall who read this are like zero degrees and your balls have climbed up looking for a warm place to hide (snicker)...but you expect that living up there (you are stuuuupid!).

Here on the Gulf, I should be able to ride my motorcycle every day (without getting frost bite)...I should be able to go jet skiing and/or scuba diving every weekend (without putting on an artic wetsuit).

So, I have a fireplace at home, a "real" wood burning thingy. I'm thinking about building a fire in it. But I'm scratching my head; how the hell do these things work? You know? Come on...Can you say "Houston! We have a problem!"...

I thought fireplaces existed just so I would have someplace to hang the kids Christmas stockings! I'm calling my dad. He can tell me how to work this thing-a-ma-bob.

I'm cooold!

When I was living in Dallas (many years ago), one winter it snowed 4 inches, got down to 20 degrees F, and we could not keep our house warm. They told me not to come to work for about 3 days. Whew!

When my dad and I moved from Ohio to Texas many years ago, it was 65 degrees when we left Ohio, arrived in Texas 2 days later, got a motel room for the night and woke up to 6" of snow! Left dec 12, arrived dec 14.

I feel your pain, smedlin. This pic was taken Christmas day. It'll be tomorrow before I can ride it to work without the risk of ice patches.

Riding in the cold is not a big deal. Layered clothing, a good pair of gloves, FF helmet, FroggToggs rain gear to keep the wind at bay, FreezeOut undergear and you're good to go. Riding on snow & ice... no thanks.
