[AT] OT--laser vrs optical mouse, etc. cold

[CEE VILL]

Around here, Ralph, we are always told that -20 and -30 in the Adirondacks does not feel cold because it is "dry air".  I have been up that way at -25.  I think the dry air story is a pile of bull dung.  At those temperatures, the moisture in the air is frozen anyway, so it is all dry air and pretty cold.  Twenty five years ago, I would ride snowmobile at -10F and think I was having fun.  Needless to say, I have outgrown that, even if my body would still let me do it,which it won't.. 

Your life this time of year reminds me of Paul Bunyan. Do you have to take your words in the house and thaw them out to hear what you said?? Wait until spring when you hear all of your daily run sounds of the Massey thaw out at one time. (grin)
