"Getting stuck to the ground" reminded me of an old Saturday Night Live skit
that was spoofing game shows. The contestants were the dumbest ever. They
were asked to lick a frozen steel bar (clearly labeled "1,000,000 degrees
below zero") and tell what flavor of chocolate it was. Of course all of
them were stuck to the bar.
By the way it is also close to -35 degrees here in Calgary yesterday. That
was with a wind chill factor applied. I have been reassembling the front
suspension on my '68 2000. Going well. Still need to clean up the main
hubs and will replace the main bearing on each side as the car had sat for
about 8 to 10 years. Keep warm northerners! Larry.

Hey All,
Currently, I am in Milford, CT. on business and the cold is unbelievable.
This morning when I left my hotel room to go to the job site I could
actually feel my lungs starting to freeze. With wind chill, the temperature
was -15. Unbelievably cold.
Being a stupid California I made a serious mistake. As I was walking to my
car I hear this crackling sound coming from the top of my head. I reached up
to feel around and broke a big chunk of my hair off. I always leave my house
in California with wet hair. Not a great idea in Connecticut in winter.
Stupid me.
When I get back to California I am going to kiss the ground. If I tried that
here, I'd be stuck to the earth.
Live and learn,
Andrew Murphy
