BK>Actually, it was a chain yank for the right wingers. It was 40
BK>Deg F here, and that ain't really warm. The point is, so many of
BK>the right wingers are southerners that 40 is artic to them. For
BK>us native northerners, in January 40F is warm enough to go out
BK>in a short sleeve shirt for a bit. I was out there last week in
BK>freezing weather, for a short time, in a short sleeve shirt.


Actually, I was born and raised in upstate New York, right on the shores of
Lake Ontario. 40 degree temperatures in January in that locale is probably
something you'd wear a light jacket to school in. Going in and out of doors,
knocking hanging ice from eaves, or sweeping snow from a walk or porch steps
in a tee shirt or long-sleeved polo shirt wasn't unheard of.


One of my step-sister's owned a house right up on the shore of the Great Lake,
and I used to spend weekends there with my nephew (he was the same age as I
was) ice skating on the lake.


BK>As I asked them, how long does it take you to change a headlight
BK>bulb. Note that access was relatively easy.


Those who think they're talking to people who've never experienced cold
weather, and are boasting about how long they stayed outdoors in 40 degree
temperatures wearing a tee shirt, are put their own foot in their mouth.
(again!)
