Oh and stars

What are these "jokes" of which you speak?

That was a joke?

Clearly, this is in the midst of a divorce.

I was living in Chicago the winter of 95 when it was 80 below zero (-80 F) and they basically said folks, don't go outside if you absolutely don't have to. Don't go to work, don't go to school, don't leave where you are tonight, or you possibly risk rapid onset hypothermia. My buddies and I smoked outside for a few minutes and watched our spit freeze before it hit the ground. It was the coldest I've ever been.

Then that summer over 800 people died in a heat wave and they had to bring in refrigerated corspicle trucks because the morgues were all full. Fortunately by that time, I had moved to Los Angeles.

sorry it was -80 WITH WIND CHILL (and it was '94)

That's some "To Build a Fire" shit right there.

It says the coldest it ever got in Chicago was about -33 C and -80 F would equal about -62 C so you should check your numbers on that.

I think it got down to -45 F one year in Milwaukee, WI while I was living there. After a while, we just called it "fucking cold."

On another note, it's good to see Jim Leahey's still doing well.
