Got an extra room? I can be there tomorrow.

I just froze my gluteus maximus off trying to wash some of the salt off of "Sam". (Hope she appreciates it.) Mid 40's here for a high.

This is one of those posts designed to PI$$ off the people in Northeast Ohio isn't it?

It's warm right now... 27 degrees F. I'm going out without a coat (don't tell my mom 'cause I might catch a cold).

It was 85F in my driveway today, but as I drove around, it "cooled down" to 81F in Mar Vista/Santa Monica.

And the surf is WAY up...

Last week I got 2 degrees F. It's been a heck of a winter so far. We usually average 18 inches of snow by now, and we've already had 43! Our white Christmas started a week and a half before Thanksgiving.
