[AT] test

[charlie hill]

John,  I get a kick out of the retired northern folks around here.  On
a day that it's maybe in the low 40's I'll be walking around in a tee shirt
covered by a heavy cotton long sleeve pull over or a sweat shirt or light 
sweater
and I'm comfortable as long as I'm not out for a long time.  (my daddy 
always said
40 degs was shirtsleeve weather)  These folks that retire here from places
where it really does get cold will have on a wool shirt, a sweater, a scarf 
around
their neck, a hat and a heavy coat.  I guess it's just force of habit.  I 
used to
have a neighbor and good friend who was a retired GM executive from 
Michigan.
He wore a t-shirt covered by a long sleeve Woolrich brand wool shirt in the 
middle of
the summer. Then he moved back up to Michigan.  Go figure.

I don't mean that as a slight to any of you guys north of me.  I just don't 
understand it.
A few years ago I saw a coat I liked and started to buy it.  Lynn said, 
"what for you'll never wear
it"  She was right.  About the heaviest thing I wear is a down vest.  Now if 
I had to get out
and work in the cold all day it would be different but these folks I'm 
talking about are just
out of their house, into the car, into a store and back just like I am on 
those cool days.

Charlie

Glad you guys missed the power outages.

Speaking of Florida, my brother-in-law has to travel all over the country as
a sales rep. We've had a pretty cold winter here (for our area). He went to
Florida about 2 weeks ago and it was 60 deg. He did his best to contain his
laughter when he saw folks walking around with their coat zipped up and
wearing gloves. I guess had Ralph been there he'd have been wearing shorts
and looking for ice water!

Drive safe and buy yourself a new (read as 80 year old) toy!

John

Colder than you know what John, but still being allowed to pay for LOTS of
electricity--the ice hit south of us. Snow has melted off the drive with the
help of lots of salt and later today I'm taking the trailer to Arnie's to
load his engines up for the Zolfo (FL) show. We leave in 15 days!

PS, Life is good!
