| Time to pull out the sweatshirts, sweatpants, socks, and hat! It is cold in this part of the country.
(How can I get icicle effects on the word "cold"?) | |

| Natalie, karma will one day get you for this and send you to Minnesota in Jan/Feb/March. I heard it was 37 below there this a.m. I assume that's with the wind chill (!). Friend of mine who lives there says you have to have two things if you are going to live in Minn - a winter vacation, and a fur coat! | |

| Natalie, my sympathies!!! We have to go up to the top of Mauna Kea to get cold right now - there's lots of snow up there and icy roads and all!!!
We are really happy around here that the Halemaumau crater seems to be pau and we are seeing blue skies, crisp clear horizons and beautiful days. For those of you outside the Pacific Rim - Halemaumau crater is part of the active volcano on the Big Island and has been spewing large and uncomfortable levels of sulfur dioxide into the air for a little over a year now. Pau means it has stopped. Now all you freezy cats can come to Hawaii, boost our tourism, not have your eyes burn, have a lot of fun, plus it's not cold on the Big Island ---YET. And the economy will improve. | |

| That's great news, Action, because I'll be on the Big Island this weekend! | |

| It was in the 80's at So California today. Got to go to Park City , Utah for some skiing this week to cool dowm before tax season starts. Feb 1st countdown continues. | |

| I had to drag the tar pots out into the cotton fields this weekend to keep the crop from curling before I get it picked. A cold snap like this could ruin any chance that my cotton will take a permanent press. | |
| January 14, 2009 | |
| Tar pots . . . I'm starting to wonder what kind of childhood you had Crow! | |
| January 14, 2009 | |
| Skiing sounds like fun. I'd have to dig the mittens and long johns out for that, though.
I have this theory. I think something happens to people's blood when them move to Hawaii from colder areas. It's just not the same anymore. My freshman year in college the first day back to school after winter break, it got up to 54 degrees. (Normal was probably around 5.) I was ready to break out the shorts! Now when it hits 54 degrees, I'm ready to break out the winter jacket! | |
| 14 January 2009 | |
| Ha. No Natalie, you light the tar, and it keeps your crop warm. Haven't you ever worked in an orange grove? | |
| 14 January 2009 | |
| I don't like you ladies. From now on, I am just going to use you for my own personal pleasure thoughts and not allow you to share in the enjoyment. hmmmmmphhhh | |
| January 14, 2009 | |
| Fred, don't include me in there with Natalie & Action. It's currently 22.5 degrees here and I have on long socks & boots. Perhaps Natalie could share her hand-me-downs, | |
| 14 January 2009 | |
| Belle, while you are indeed a lady, i am only including those ladies, and i am now using the term as loosely as i can, that are located in Hawaii. | |
| January 14, 2009 | |
| Crow, I've been in apple orchards but not orange groves. Tar is bad enough when it's used on the road though. I wouldn't even think of setting it on fire.
| |
| 14 January 2009 | |
| Jealous is a petty word. I have just made the positive choice to not think of you in regards to weather. I will go forward thinking of you only in other ways. This way we can both be warmed. | |
| January 15, 2009 | |
| Ohhh yeah. You are TOO MUCH Fred! But you didn't answer my question. | |
| 15 January 2009 | |
| The cold was the reason why I moved from Denmark to Southern France.... And from Southern France to Hawaii. It's sooo cool to be able to wear mini skirt all year long (o;
Oh Nathalie, you can drive up to Mauna Kea and snowboard all day long. | |
Actionbsns (talk|edits) said: | 15 January 2009 |
| Natalie, the answer to your question is that not only did Fred not help with remodeling, he didn't help paint, or move, or clean up afterwards. And BTW Fred, if you are interested in redeeming yourself, the carpet layer did such a bad job in our new house, they are replacing it and we need to "move" for a day or two soon so they can put the new stuff down. We could really use some help with the furniture. Maybe Tom would like to come and help, too. Like I said, the volcano has stopped spewing so much junk into the air and the views and weather have been outstanding up here lately. | |
| 15 January 2009 | |
| Oh, for crying out loud!!!!!
Are we complaining again about cold in a tropical paradise?! Try living here where it's currently 38 degrees!

| Tom, you should be enjoying your 38 degree heat wave. It's 15 degrees outside my office in northeast PA. It's not expected to climb into the 20's until Sunday. Those are the highs! | |
| January 16, 2009 | |
| Tom, I can almost hear you say that! Yup, it's cold here alright. We have quite a windchill going on right now. Wind gusts are up to 50 mph or something like that. I would guess that brings the temperature down another 20 degrees. I might have to get my space heater out tonight. | |
| 16 January 2009 | |
| Well, today it's currently 11 degrees with a high of 22 and a low of 7.
The National Weather Service says it will be 80 today in Hawaii with lows in the 60's. Oy, the life of misery you must lead living in Hawaii.
