[AT] : Re: Good tractor day

[James Bray]

Hey, guys,

 

I live in Wisconsin, and drive semi nights to support my antique tractor habit.  Monday nights some of us operated in minus 20 temps.

 

Oddly it may have something to do with global warming.  I read awhile ago, that the melting of polar ice may temporarily give cooler temps to some of the northerly latitides.

 

Who knows?
