[THE eXchanger]

as late as 1956,
many people in canada
did NOT have indoor heat / outside of a pot belly stove in the kitchen
and, they NEVER froze to death, or died

why is it, that the hot climates,
seem to have all the poisonous snakes,
brown recluse spiders, and, aligators/crocs, etc.,

while in the north here

we have rattlesnakes, which, do NOT bother you,
unless maybe you step on their nests
which, are generally built where people are NOT

when it gets real cold
you could find a good mate
and, go to bed !!!

(although, i've spent my life single-and, haven't yet died in the cold alone)

winter actually passes very quickly,
the ground hog saw it's shadow
so, we will have 6 weeks of winter...
then, spring

can't wait til approx march 16th, for spring
st. pattie's day on the 17th march
i hope i can wear shorts !!!

bears eat a lot and, go to sleep for the winter

maybe, we should be more like bears

i'd rather stay home, than try to live in 118 degrees in phoenix

and, i've tried florida in the summer -- the humidity is awful
