Stop it...you, too as in Happy Valentine's Day...I was
just returning
his sentiment...now go play with your atropine and
behive...

Max has one too?

Out behind the house, but the bees all died in the subzero temps
recently.

Sub zero temperatures should not have bothered them unless it was a weak
colony to start with or you took their summer honey and neglected to feed
them sugar solution as a substitute. Bees are warm and cluster together in
the hive in a cluster about the size and shape of an (oval) football. The
colder it gets the tighter they cluster to maintain a temperature of about
90 degrees in the middle of the cluster. They rotate the ones on the
outside
to give them a chance to come into the warm.
But you also have to keep the hive ventilated so you must not let it get
buried in snow.

I don't have bees, Edgar. T'was a humorous response to an inane question.

Max

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks Jon. I had a great Valentines Day. Mike and I
spent the day
by the pool drinking pina coladas then we treated
ourselves to dinner
at a fancy new restaurant in town. It was a bit pricey
but worth
every penny.


Well that's just peachy, Barb. You know what I did? Plowed
snow for 6.5 hours, in wind chills of - 15*.
I'm so glad for you...and Mike.

Scotty

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wow Scotty, I just can't imagine that kind of cold. Here in Mexico
the heat is the reason we have siesta from 2 to 4 every day. Too damn
hot to do anything!

Seems you are the peach for doing all that work on Valentines Day.
Hope your Valentine appreciated your effort.

A recent study concluded you have a 30% less chance of a heart attack
if you take a nap daily. I loved working in the bay of De Campache and
the town of Carmen. Siesta, from 14:00 to 16:00 the whole town shut
down.... but people then worked to 19:00. Still remember our Pemex
agent getting grub for the boat. He had a beef hide quarter delivered
by donkey cart that was still twitching, and the chickens were mucho
fresho in cages. Best bread tortillas on earth, they still had little
adobe ovens all over town that baked all day. Town square dances every
Friday and Saturday night. lush jungle, great easy going people.

BTW Scotty likes plowing snow, that why he lives in Plowsville...job
security.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here too, the whole town shuts down for siesta. In my opinion it's a
great way to live. It's no wonder the locals are all so happy and
easy going.

Recently, we were riding into town on the water taxi and our driver
had dinner in his hand. A live chicken, muy fresco!

Plowsville! Hahahaaaa..... Gotta plow, even if it's snow.

Did you see that recent medical study that concluded that people who take a
daytime nap at least twice a week are 37% less likely to suffer a heart
attack? You folks down there will probably live forever.

Max

Happy Valentine's Day!

Mr Sails takes naps but I don't..if I sleep during the day I can't sleep
at night...and I never sleep past 7 hours unless I'm sick...guess I'm
doomed...
