Winter is here

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

...and it's a bit chilly in New York. I could grumble about the cold, but on days like this, in times like these I think back to what a real winter is like, courtesy of my hometown:

Don't ever let anyone tell you that Buffalo is too scary, dirty, and depressing to be a family vacation spot. Remember, you don't need to pay for lift tickets, because you can ski in the streets in April.

Global warming affects the entire globe, apart from Buffalo and Scotland. I spent a week in Inverness one late July, and it must have been forty degrees (Fahrenheit), tops.

Isn't 'Fahrenheit,' like, the weirdest word you've ever seen?

@ Big Si "Stay Off The Moors - Keep To The Roads" ;-)

One of my fave words is "Moist" :-)

Also to ALL of you - get the next person you speak to say "Plinth" - and watch their mouth/tongue - sexy isn't it :-)
