The wind-chill in Ithaca, NY (where The Brat goes to school) was -12F
last night. Please take it back!

Here in San Francisco, I'll probably wear a tee shirt all day today.


Does your VW Rabbit have a rag top? That would be really cool. When I
drove to the airport at 6:00am early January there was a guy zooming by
in a T-shirt, wearing a baseball cap, sitting in an open cockpit MG
Sports. It was around 35F (2C for European readers).

No, I'm getting too grownup for that sort of stuff. Bu my old MG
Midget was a blast. You could drive around in the rain, in reasonable
comfort, as long as you didn't go below about 30 MPH. And the sound
was awesome, blasting north through the Waldo Tunnel, and it was
wonderful negotiating Devil's Slide at unsafe speeds.

Imagine oversteering off that! We're not big on guard rails here in
California.
