    GP> I've heard of that effect -- Context is everything!   
      
     I have to wonder what nudist colonies do with temperature changes.    
   I think of one cartoon where Sylvester is trying to get "this helpless   
   little bird", but in reality, he was "about as helpless as a porcupine   
   in a nudist colony".    
      
    GP> I prefer 80F+ all 4 seasons. Was grand when Iu hads heart inckluyded in   
    GP> my lasdt apt -- kept it at 25C (80F) all the time; come home from a   
    GP> crazy windy,. rtainy evening, & enter the tropical zone for a nice hot   
    GP> toddy to warm up my innards, too.   
      
     My brother prefers that as well. The cold weather does make the arthritis   
   hurt more...but it means no heat illness, no insects, and no tornadoes.   
      
    GP> (I'm not lazy. . .I'm "efficient" (intelligent laziness!)   
      
     My first ham radio callsign was N5VLZ -- one said the suffix stood for   
   "Very Lazy".    
      
    GP> oooo -- I bet someone's captain got in trouble!   
      
     It was the last play of the game, and they were not aware of what was going   
   on.   
      
    GP> Yup,. but I think your country it's more the billion dollar transfers   
    GP> from the taxcpayoers to the billionaires. (through insane Defense   
    GP> contracts, including $30,000 screwdrivers that I bet were just bought   
    GP> at Wal-Mart or a dollar store)   
      
     And we thought the $600 toilet seats were expensive. I guess that's the   
   cost of the plungers now.   
      
    GP> mmmm, lasagna -- I've always loved that!   
      
     They just addressed that topic on the Young Operators Digital Voice Net...   
   what is your favorite Thanksgiving Food. It wasn't always turkey and all   
   the trimmings.
