"As long as you keep your car from freezing solid, I think you will find it "bracing".

Yeah, right. Bracing. I'm bracing for it all right. Really, I don't mind. I'm a long-time skier, so I've been around winter weather for a long time. Besides, my house has a heated garage, so the heck with winter.

Truly, I just signed up for a snow removal service for the winter. It costs just about as much as buying a decent snow blower and the guy is about two blocks from me. He says my place will be second on his list, after his own house. Then he ranges out from there.

I priced snow blowers this weekend. $100 a month will go a long way, I think.

I'm an old man (59). I ain't shoveling snow! [grin]

Your from Cal and you moved to Maine? Hehe, just going to the local restaurant will be a real thriller, an E ticket ride. Your going to love all the lovely ice. But hey, cheer up, it only lasts about 5 months out of the year.
