Actually, I'm still packing and dyeing my hair blue again. I'm gone on a mission trip to do some street evangelism on a-1-a, of all places. Hope you guys have a great week, and yes, I miss my girlfriend already. Until Monday, guys...

Have fun Kay! Warm Sun, surf and almost naked women...

Wish I was goin' somewhere warm...

Oh well... 6 to 8 months, I'll be down south. Not sure where yet... but I am fuggin' SICK of freezin' my ass off 9 months out of the year. Montana isn't as bad as ND, but I think I'd like to spend a coupla years without my best friend going into hiding for months on end...

Anyway.... end of my rant!

Enjoy

Hey Dark, maybe we should swap. I'm tired of sweating my ass off every summer. 110 degrees is not fun anymore. I want more rain again too.

Hojo... you'd just adore ND... especially when it hits 80 below (with wind-chill)., No matter how thick your coat is, it feels like someone threw a bucket of ice-water on you, and it's slowly seeping into your bones.

You can also have your fingers turn from white (depending on your starting out color anyway... I'm one pale mofo) to pink to red to purple to black... once it hits black, they cut whatever IS black off...

I can say from experience... at purple, your joints feel like they're made of rubber bands, and you literally can't feel your fingers and you can feel your blood freezing. That's through gloves... hell, a neighbor of mine... her cat got lost for a day...they had to cut off the tips of his ears, part of his tail all of his joints never unlocked... he walked like he was on stilts... This is a cat. A furry critter that produces a lot of body heat.

I wore two ski-masks... it didn't help that much. ND is also the site of my only car accident (with me driving anyway) as I hit a four-foot snow drift on an otherwise clear road (lousy guard-rails on the bridge collected it).

The other side is not seeing the sun for 6 months, and the heater is on so often you feel light-headed from the fact you haven't had actual AIR in awhile...

Also, if you step outside at 40 below with wet hair... you can LITERALLY break it off.

I spent a summer in Oklahoma. It never dropped below 90 for over three months... even at night. I understand that constant heat sucks... believe me... but after the last several years I've had... I just wanna be warm for awhile and get a tan!

If I were to fall asleep on a park-bench as it is right now, people would call the morgue thinkin' I was dead. I'm literally white... not beige... white!

Anyway... I'm sure I'll go back to loving the cold again... but for now... I just wanna thaw for a few years!

Anath... I'm the idiot out with my camera during a lightning storm (Oddly... I usually only end up with some cool horizon pics). I also go jogging during torential rains.

I'd go storm chasing, but my insurance rates already suck on my car

Anath... for your sig... check out William Blake's "The Tiger".

Guess your right. I don't really like the cold which is one of the reasons I moved here to begin with. I'm just tired of the heat and the lack of rain. I like the Pacific NW. Doesn't get to cold there.

Are you in Vegas or Seattle Duck? Cause it rained a little here today. Actually, it seems like we've had more rain already this year than we had all of last year. I guess we just need a change.

Kinda got my wish. It was raining when I woke up and has been raining on and off all day.
