Uber to his uncle in Montana:
“How do you handle it when the weather gets down to -30F?”
Uber’s uncle:
“It’s just another layer of thermal underwear...”
Safe travels, grey_whiskers!
Brrrrrrrr! (shivers convulsively)
I’ve always thought, if God wanted us to live in below freezing temperatures, He would have given us fur!
So it wasn't a chili cheese dog made with a "Maple Leaf Top Dog, all beef?"
(I so seldom get to make Corner Gas references.)
The MK-Ultra/CIA and other researchers discovered just how to do this...

No, the ancient egyptians and probably before. This has been going on for a long time.
I’ve been wondering where you were. Stay safe out there!
Re What did. Manitoba do?:

A vault built on an Arctic mountainside to preserve the world’s crop seeds from war, disease and other catastrophes will receive new deposits on Monday, including one from the first organisation that made a withdrawal from the facility.
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, on Spitsbergen island halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole, is only opened a few times a year to limit its seed banks’ exposure to the outside world.
On Monday, gene banks from Sudan, Uganda, New Zealand, Germany and Lebanon will deposit seeds, including millet, sorghum and wheat, as back-ups to their own collections.
The International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), which moved its headquarters to Beirut from Aleppo in 2012 because of the war in Syria, will deposit some 8,000 samples.
ICARDA made the first seed withdrawal from the vault in 2015 to replace a collection damaged by the war, and two further withdrawals in 2017 and 2019 to rebuild its own collections, now held in Lebanon and Morocco.
“The fact that the seed collection destroyed in Syria during the civil war has been systematically rebuilt shows that the vault functions as an insurance for current and future food supply and for local food security,” said Norwegian International Development Minister Anne Beathe Tvinnereim.
The vault, which holds over 1.1 million seed samples of nearly 6,000 plant species from 89 seed banks globally, also serves as a backup for plant breeders to develop new crop varieties.

Yes, I know she’s gone. But she would have been interested in this.
Never forget.
The sister-in-law of former national security advisor Mike Flynn has filed a $100 million lawsuit against Fake News CNN over a report that pegged them as supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory. Valerie Flynn accuses the Cable News Network of deceptively editing videos to make it appear that she was pledging allegiance to a conspiracy group. https://ussanews.com/sister-in-law-of-mike-flynn-sues-cnn-for-100-million-over-report-identifying-them-as-qanon-believers/
