The person below me
Re: The person below me
no, but I look for things that make a bit of sense of it. Current favorite is from Ken Burn's Jazz, describing the difference between New Orleans spiritual music and the blues, the blues based in more earthly reality. Spiritual: "Oh God, let me go." the blues: "Mister, won't you let me be?" I don't know, it sort of caught my mind in a new way.

Re: The person below me
I prefer to be a little on the warm side. But the cold does have it's advantages. After all, if you are to cold you can always add another layer of clothing. But if you are too hot you can only take off so many clothes until there are none left... to ... remove....
Wait a minute... I think I really like being too hot... yeah. We should all be too hot. Yayyyy for the summertime

Re: The person below me
True. I prefer salty snacks to sweet ones. that being said, I do not generally cook with salt. I think it is something that should be added (sparingly) at the table. Garlic and other seasonings provide better flavor.

Re: The person below me
Yeah, I've definitely given it some thought. Those weathermen/women seem to fall into three types: 1) those that have a raging hard-on for those storms that dump shitloads of snow everywhere, 2) those that sympathize with the people who don't like the storms and the "bad" weather, and 3) the ones who really don't give a damn about the weather (usually the weekend guys).
