What doesn't kill you may heal you and other frozen stories

1. It's three below zero right now. (Tree below zero according to that old Finnish joke. Must look for photo to illustrate.)

2. It's damn cold. I started Barry's car this morning when the thermometer shivered at 6 below zero (-21.1 C). It's all thanks to Grandma's 1969 or 1970 one-piece snowmobile suit with the orange-red racing stripes. When and if that snowmobile suit disintegrates, he's on his own.

You are welcome to borrow some of our ridiculous heat from South Africa. How would you like it packaged for the trip over? We are sweltering at 36 degrees celcius (not sure what that equates to but it’s HOT)

  The older I get, the harder it is to deal with extreme highs and lows, but HOT sounds enticing about now when the outside air is colder than our indoor freezer! Thanks for the offer though!
