[blparent] weather

Mon Feb 2 21:45:18 UTC 2009

I can think of a thousand things I'd rather do than sauna and then jump in 
the snow with no clothes on.  However, I've heard that some people like the 
activity, and it doesn't mean they're fools.  It simply means they're 
different from me, and there's no law that makes having differences a crime. 
If they can generate money by jumping in the cold ocean--here in Colorado, 
it's a reservoir they use--more power to them.  I'd just as soon write a 
check to the charity in question and stay warm!
