Ok...maybe...<i>Or am I just being a grumpy old man???</i><br /><br />Ok...maybe I'm just a grumpy old man with memory problems. :-)<br /><br />I remember being outside in -25 degree temps in the 90's. (That was probably wind chill...but still.) Driving a fork truck in and out of a building when it's that cold isn't much fun.<br /><br />And I remember when the Cincy Bungles beat up the Chargers at Riverfront Statium. The owner of the Chargers tried to get the game delayed because it was so cold. None of our 3 vehicles would start.<br /><br />And I remember the winters of 76/77 and 77/78. <br /><br />Maybe I'm just taking those as "normal" because they stick the most in my memory. :-)LCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146393047895889252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-38207359870046150832014-01-28T07:13:48.619-05:002014-01-28T07:13:48.619-05:00Yowza.

This is pretty far to one end of the bell curve in my experience.

This morning when I left for work, there was but one left at the end of the drive. Hopefully I can find the other caught in the one remaining fence-line down at the county line.Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604826633798229422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-17902919901043935542014-01-27T09:06:17.085-05:002014-01-27T09:06:17.085-05:00It is cold, but any film clip of Esther Williams h...It is cold, but any film clip of Esther Williams has to warm your heart.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17269114655802698386noreply@blogger.com
