It is just plain awful here.
Snowing like crazy, wind blowing about 20 mph, and temp about 20 degrees. Blech.

11. have you considered using Linux?
I just installed it, and all of a sudden, it's 75 and sunny, there are attractive people prancing down the street in bikinis, and I think they are all wearing beer goggles!

Linux Rules!

3. Why do you hate America so much?
Sorry I couldn't resist. About 5 inches of snow here (Richmond) cold but we are cleaning out the closets and getting ready to move stuff to storage, not today next weekend. King size bed coming too.

8. Here in Atlanta
we have been under a winter storm watch since yesterday -- the watch is up to 6 pm today.

32 degrees, and everything is covered in ice (it rained Friday night and all day Saturday).
