Survival of the Warmest

Of all places, why Milwaukee? Why did we have to get hit with snowstorms and extremly cold tempetures? Check out this conversation I had with one of my friends.
we were at school. The recess bell had just rang, and we were discussing whether to go outside or not.

friend: We are SO not going outside for recess.

me: I know, but as long as we're bundled up we're fine. (I drove to school)

friend: No, you don't get it. It's is freezing beyond freezing out there! Like, eighteen below zero!

me: Are you sure? It didn't seem to cold to me.

friend: How cold was it when you left your house?

me: eight degrees.

friend: My house was even lower than that. The dog didn't even want to go outside.

we ended up going in the gymnasium, thank g-d for that. Even so, no one's dogs went outside.
And that was that. Kind of strange, but every time we get it break in school, No one thinks oh, we're taking a break. Everyone thinks oh, we're going outside. One reason I am happy for global warming. Even though acording to Al Gore, It will kill millions of people. (Kinyna Harah)

It was colder than that this morning. It's -10 right now and about -25 with the wind chill factor.

By comparison, we're practically roasting here in the semi-tropics of New York City, where it's a balmy 17 degrees with a 14-mile-per-hour wind. Oy. Try to stay warm.

Speaking of which, here's a warm welcome to the Jewish blogosphere. You go, super hero!

Actually, one prevailing theory regarding global warming is that it does not simply cause warmer weather but rather causes all kinds of extremes in weather; following this theory, both unseasonably warm and unusually cold winter weather could be attributed to global warming.

It's exciting that you now have a blog!

By the way, you have to call me IGUANA on my blog.

outofAMMO said...

Dont I usually call you that anyway?

iguana said...

No. If you call me Iguana at home, I'll be forced to kill you because of LEGAL reasons.

outofAMMO said...

SAY THAT TO MY LAYWER.

iguana said...

I'm pretty sure he already knows, and is running for his life so that I don't kill him too. Lawyers can get attached to their patients, you know.
