[Land-speed] No, it wasn't from Jon ...

[Bob Clancy]

Hey, greetings from the sunny, warm Southwest!  We've had 
lows of -10 and -15, with a high of 0 in between.  Today 
it's sunny and up to a balmy 13.  I know, Jon is not 
extremely sympathetic, as he's used to this absurdity.... 
but if he calls me a weenie, I'll start talking about the 
Vernor's Ginger Ale freezing on the windowsill (inside) in 
Miller Hall at Michigan Tech, where we both went to school, 
a couple years apart.

Our winter has been weird... warm, then 15" of snow that was 
gone in about 3 days.... then warm, now this unusual cold 
spell (-15), with highs predicted to be 45 this weekend.  Go 
figger.
