Yep, and in 6 months it'll be "102* here today. This is ridiculous!" and it'll be me saying it!!

DAMN! I know my truck would not start unless I had her plugged in in that weather. It's amazing how a few hundred miles difference can do for the temp.

Tell me about it. My car didn't want to start this morning. I didn't have it plugged in and it hasn't been run since Saturday.

LOL i think that I'd rather have the heat than this cold Ray. Not only that but everything here is so dead it's depressing. One thing that I did notice is that people up here(most of them) have attitudes where when I was down there it was more of a laid back friendly attitude.

You definatly take the coldest place award Sheldon. I think that I am taking the cold worse now because of my extended stay in FL and also due to the fact that I am physicall and emotionally run down because of this past weeks events.

Generally west fla is more laid back unless you run into some from the north or east coast

Very true Ray. I did notice a bit of a difference after as the locals said "You can tell that the northerners are here"

On the plus side the truck started without being plugged in. It groaned and whined but started fine. Gotta like that.
