Wow, farmer, that was a pretty hard turn you took out of Charlie's
message about government budgets.  Probably intentional... ;-)

I live in southern New England, where the winters aren't usually all
that tough, due to the effects of the Atlantic ocean fairly close by.
But this one's been especially long and bitter here.  I was trying to
put in postholes the week before Thanksgiving and augering through
about 3" of frozen ground; now here in early March there's a foot of
snow on the ground and it was 9 below this morning.  This has nothing
to do with how old my bones are; it's just one of those winters.
