Don't think so, around here we have more Yankees per square mile than
pine trees.

I've heard four times this week (and it's only tuesday) how "Southerners
don't know how to drive in snow," and there are over 1200 wrecks in the
Raleigh area in the past 48 hours. But all the Southerners I know are
staying right at home!

Snow? What is that? The only time we get freezing precipitation in
Dallas it is some sort of ice storm. Fortunately, that is a fairly
rare occurrence. I will say that no one around here knows how to
drive, rain or shine. I was in Italy in early January and I found
people were much better drivers than I am used to seeing around here.
Then again, if we were driving vehicles not much larger than golf
carts, perhaps people would be better drivers here, as well.

On days like today, I feel as if moving further south would be a good

Scariest traffic I ever saw was in Athens, Greece. People were doing 60
mph on the sidewalks to get around cars that had stopped for red lights.
When I was in Italy, red lights meant "speed up & blow your horn."

Sometimes I wonder if anybody anywhere really knows how to drive. I
prefer walking, but to get to the coast from here would take too long.

Well, everything is relative. We were in Northern Italy, and although
it was a bit confusing at first, it actually seems to at least be
considerate chaos. Perhaps they were intimidated by our Citreon mini
van:) It must have looked like a Hummer to those Italians in their
tiny Fiats:) In any event, their driving was better than I see on a
daily basis here.

I could do that. I'd have at least another decade.

Did I mention some time ago, we were visiting western Massachusetts
(beautiful place, a bit hilly for my taste tho') and fetched up in a
small town where the first 5 people I met were from eastern N.C. and
they were not related. I couldn't help but ask, "Why so many North
Carolinians up here?" and of course they answered "To get away from the
Yankees." Maybe they were serious!

Sure, there are some "folks" that don't mind the cold weather. We call them

Geez Felton... I'm heading to minus 46 centigrade. I'll be working outdoors
for 10 hours a day!

Think about that for a while...... every molecule of moisture is frozen to
a standstill. The possibility of freezing your lungs is always there. Spit
freezes before it hits the snow. Ice fog is prevalent and it's no place for
errors or second guesses.

You thrive there... you thrive anywhere! I revel in it's fierce and
uncompromising element! Never allow temperature or primal extremes to
compromise your realm. You are either Master or Slave..... you choose!

No kids, we can do without milk. And we always keep plenty of soup on

BTW some consider it bad form to drink when ashore... what about single
