It could be worse. Some of us can't even aim.

WTF? I woke up this am to snow! SNOW! on my car on the ground and still falling out of the sky. I love it! This is the earliest snow we've had around here in decades it seems. So much for global warming.

Yup, a plot to sell air conditioners, when we'll really need these.

Some of those are actually a pretty good idea. I've been known to wear a wool glove on my mouse hand when it's in the low 60s in my house and I'm surfing around. Otherwise, my mouse hand turns ice cold.

I just sent that to my wife for Xmas ideas. If I got the monkey hand and foot warmers, I could turn off the heat in the rest of the house.

Oh, I agree with glatt. My hands lose function at that temperature. And my thermostats are set for 56°.

brief flurries but nothing to stick to the ground. I hope the snow holds off. I need to finish raking this weekend. Raking leaves in the snow doesn't really work.

WTF?

People think we're nuts because we keep it at 65°. Do you wear a hat in the house?

A least they're no longer an eyesore though, right?

Yes, you are nuts, and the glatt homestead is certifiable. The thermostat currently says it's 70 in here, and I'm freezing. I think the thermostat is wrong, though.

The CEO gets to set the thermostat in our house. I have no idea what it is on but it is warm, I think 73 or something.

66 - but we are all guys. When guests (women) come over, it increases to 70.
