I didn't like the weather in Boston this time of |year. New England is too cold in the winter. (smile). This is a joke, right? When I lived in ill-noise, a guy at work had his pipes freeze. Not in the house, not in an unheated garage, but under the front yard! My apt was 53 degrees in the afternoon with the furnace running constantly 24 hours a day. Moving the gear-shift lever in my car took both hands and the rubber boot was so stiff that the entire console moved as well! I tried to find -20 weight motor oil, as 5w30 was much too thick. And people wonder why I moved to the coast... _____ /_____\ Snoopy /_______\ |___| tekecs.gwd.tek.com!sopwith!snoopy |___| sun!nosun!illian!sopwith!snoopy [Moderator's Note: Which coast? The one with the used hypodermic needles which wash up on the shore or the other one; the one we suspect will someday soon have a massive earthquake and get disconnected from the rest of us and float off into the sea to become an island by itself? I've visited several east coast cities, as well as El Lay. I still prefer Chicago, as crummy as it is getting. I've lived here all my life, and grown accustomed to outrageous weather conditions, including this winter, the eighth mildest on the books here. PT]
