   I've heard of that effect -- Context is everything!   
      
   I prefer 80F+ all 4 seasons. Was grand when Iu hads heart inckluyded in my   
   lasdt apt -- kept it at 25C (80F) all the time; come home from a crazy windy,.   
   rtainy evening, & enter the tropical zone for a nice hot toddy to warm up my   
   innards, too.   
      
   I kind of invcented my own simple/easy hot toddy, to get the job done as   
   quickly as possible while allowing me to indulge my innate laziness (I'm not   
   lazy. . .I'm "efficient" (intelligent laziness!)

   oooo -- I bet someone's captain got in trouble!   
      
   We've had similar things in hockey -- 6 players on the ice per team.   
   Sometimes, in a last period hail mary, they'll pull the goalie & replace him   
   with a 3rd Forward, which is fine, if the defense duo can do their job in case   
   we lose the puck on the offense.

   Fair response.

   Yup,. but I think your country it's more the billion dollar transfers from the   
   taxcpayoers to the billionaires. (through insane Defense contracts, including   
   $30,000 screwdrivers that I bet were just bought at Wal-Mart or a dollar store)   
      
   Up here, a few years back, it was 7-figure advertising contracts given to   
   cronies(campaign donors), who then outsourced the jobs for $10K each & pocketed   
   the difference) Ad-Scam, it was known as. . . (you guys might've called the   
   same event Ad-Gate)

   mmmm, lasagna -- I've always loved that!   
      
   Used to make it for my brother & me when he was living here; one day my mom   
   calls me while he was up there, to ask me how I made mine, as my brother kept   
   telling her mine was better, even after she doubled the cheese. I just said I   
   used the same baes recipe she did, but doubled the meat & trebled the cheese.)   
      
   Of course, my brother had no business criticising a free meal! But he was still   
   maturing/growing. . .

   Seems somewhat better this time around, except on Vancouver Island, where it's   
   worse (that's our buffer here on south coast Mainland)   
      
   Reminds me -- I should call my volunteer boss over there, check on him. . .
