Above - Definitely above. If it were below, half the pipes in the state would freeze.

Not on my street.



There are 8 houses.



Four of the houses have MBs in their driveways. Two have big lifted trucks. The other two have a SUVs and lil japanese cars... No hippies here.

I live in a hippie neighborhood, real one's man.

Many hybrids, VW vans (old one's too!), Volvo wagons, VW's and a few 911's and the occasional E or C class. Anti war signs, WWWD (What Would Wellstone Do) bumper stickers, Al Franken for Senate stickers-- gotta love it! Some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. The test is to see how many people will help push a Merc 600 out of a snow bank-- a few weeks bank they swarmed around the beast! One neighbor lady asked me and the wife out for dinner.

NRA might be okay, GW? Hmm...

The people 2 houses down have a Civic hybrid with a Hillary for Prez sticker. Nice enough folks, but I wouldn't bring up politics during a conversation -- gotta play nice.

That's not a blizzard...

...this is a blizzard. j/king

Nice winter storm hit over the weekend. The media seems to love this stuff - you'd think it was the first time snow fell in Canada... It was pretty much a white-out, driving was a little dicey and I don't think I'll get the BBQ going anytime soon.

Spot all the cardinals?





Later that night, BBQ is fully buried. Sad days.

Florida is too hot anytime, at least South Florida 360 days/nights it doesn't matter. No way you could make it without A/C.

The Hippies in CA have evolved to Yuppies ... I don't know what's worse
