Now there's the kind of weather That I can do without. If I want to freeze
my keester off I can go up into the mountains and do so. Then when I've had
enough, down the mountain I come, into the warmth of the desert. But I'll
tell you now, I do not go into the mountains for the obvious reason. I
detest the cold. Thanks, but no thanks.
