| The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it! |

Johnny - That was a great account of your time in Ohio! I laughed and laughed because it felt a little like my experience in Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia and right next door to Valley Forge, where George Washington and his troops froze their backsides off. I didn't have the tree limb experience, but I sure had the snowplow party!
We were there in the summer too. Loved the mountains the moles built in our lawn and the shrews that tunneled under the deck I so carefully built out in back of our house. And the Gypsy moth caterpillars! What fun to watch them take all the leaves off your trees, almost overnight! Moss everywhere, mushrooms growing up through cracks in the driveway (making them bigger) and we were in a drought, so I couldn't wash the car! I was very happy to see Pennsylvania in our rear view mirror as we headed back west! Thanks again for a great start to this thread!    - Jack

So you think it's cold where you live? Try living in Utah!
Perception... It's all about perception. 60 above zero: Floridians turn on the heat. People in Utah plant gardens. 50 above zero: Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Provo sunbathe. 40 above zero: Italian & English cars won't start. People in Utah drive with their windows down. 32 above zero: Distilled water freezes. The water in the Great Salt Lake gets thicker. 20 above zero: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves and wool hats. People in Utah throw on a flannel shirt. 15 above zero: New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Utah have the last cookout before it gets cold. Zero: People in Miami all die. Utahans close the windows. 10 below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico. People in Utah get out their winter coats. 25 below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Utah are selling cookies door to door. 40 below zero: Washington, DC runs out of hot air. People in Utah let the dogs sleep indoors. 100 below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Utahans get frustrated because they can't start the Mini-Van. 460 below zero: ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero on the Kelvin scale.) People in Utah start saying..."Cold 'nuff fer ya?" 500 below zero: Hell freezes over. The Utah Jazz win the NBA Championship!
