Another Public Service Announcement
Warning: spending an abundance of time in warm climates away from home during a very cold and snowy winter will be hazardous to your internal thermostat.
Last Sunday I left again for California for another week of training. This time my flight gained me a whopping 56 degrees. It was -1 when I left. Yes, that's air temperature. I landed at almost 11 pm and still gained 56 degrees. All week it was short sleeves and no coat. Upon arriving back home, I lost upwards of 60 degrees again. When I exited the tram station at the parking lot, the gust of icy wind took my breath. And now I am still colder than I usually am - me - the perpertually warm one. Remind me to stay put in the climate I reside until winter is over, ok? Because I'm starting to see the allure of living in the warmer areas. Come summer when feels like 250 degrees elsewhere, then I'll visit to appreciate my own coordinates once more.
And while we are on the topic of cold, maybe someone could explain why with all of our advanced technology, we cannot consistently make vehicles where the windshield fluid squirter (that's the technical term) doesn't freeze? Usually it's during the cold times that the salt residue is prohibiting vision out of the windshield. A bit difficult to drive when you cannot see. Try rolling down the window to throw some water on it? Uh-uh. Window is frozen shut, too. Fabulous.
Ok, enough griping. It's winter. Deal with it.
To try and stimulate your mind in a better way, try this. It's pretty neat. However, since I am a dork by nature, my goal was to figure out how it works. It didn't take very long. See if you can figure it out. Unless you are in a warm climate...in that case, just go outside and stop sitting in front of the darn computer for pete's sakes!
