No... no.... no... COLD is back in the icebreaker days. There were days when they ordered the weatherdecks secured (meaning nobody was allowed to go outside). That was at about -60 or so. Beyond that if you go outside and breathe in... your lungs freeze. Now, THAT is cold.

Ah... the memories... takin' a baseball bat outside to break the ice off the ship to keep it from becoming top-heavy and tipping over. You just can't buy memories like that. :-)

And you'd want to buy those? :-)

Now, stories about tropical heat. Sweltering in the desert, those I could deal with! :-) Just don't like to be cold! But, I do like to hear *you* tell about it! Just glad I wasn't there!
