It's Sunny and Calm....you can't ask for any better.


Wednesday was foul. The wind was blowing so hard. The walk from the Court Room to the Parking Garage sucked. My nipples were so hard, I went and etched my name into my back window.

I can't go outdoors. I'm in a place that's worse than prison.

Would that be your place of employment or your geographical location?

BTW, I think I'm gonna go and eat lunch outdoors. It is really nice here today. Definitely an improvement over the past couple days.

Supposedly it was 25 degrees out where I live, last night. I don't believe that. Dog water didn't freeze, neither did plants.

I refuse to drape blankets over my plants like some sort of cheap freak. If they get frost damage, oh well, cut it off, it'll grow next spring. If it dies...what does an Oleander cost $15??

Treating plants like babies should get you thrown in jail.

Well, thanks for calling me a freak :)

I covered my ficuses because I hate seeing a foot off the top frozen every year, and have to grow that foot back over the next year. I want them to grow as fast as possible.

My bougainvillea got frost bite like an Everest expedition gone bad. I just wish those things would die anyway, I hate them and their stickers. Who's idea was it to bring those to this country anyway?

I'm with Ryan. To hell with this weather. The only time I should be cold and wearing a coat is if I have a board strapped to my feet.

MESA! :thud:
Survival tactics. I like it.

Do I need to worry about my plants here? I am on the second floor and all my plants are on the porch. They should be okay, right?


I'd bring 'em in, but I'm probably late with this advice.

Weather guy on the radio says if the temp drops another 10 degrees or so, some areas could see snow
