Re: REALLY COLD
Just finished a cup of your coffee. Was a tough decision whether to drink it or pour it on my cold fingers! Windy, cold and blowing in Upstate NY.
PS - I know your coffee from years ago when I was the coffee buyer for Godiva. I probably have bought more GMCR coffee than anybody!~

Re: REALLY COLD
My point exactly Rich .... the market "sounds good" ... but, just as with ostriches, it is an imaginary market based on what one sale sometime in the past garnered. The only standard way to make money from exotics ... is by selling stock to newbies wanting to get into the exotics.
Fortunately, I knew when I bought her the mini horses that we were not going to recoup ANY "investment" ... so I cannot be disappointed.
So far I have resisted "hints" for miniature donkeys, miniature goats, miniature sheep and miniature cows. (The lack of additional grazing land also helps my resolve)

Re: REALLY COLD
Godiva! Wow, that goes WAY back! Thanks for sticking with us!
That wind is wicked, isn't it? I can handle 20 below in a sweatshirt long enough to get the chores done...unless there's a stiff wind. That wind chills to the bone!

Re: REALLY COLD
Pete, I spent one winter ('71-'72) in a Chicago suburb. The coldest morning we had was -16F, but no wind, and I stayed outside comfortably most of the morning; mostly helping other folks get their cars started, and taking one to buy a new battery. But the next morning it had warmed up to only -3F, with strong winds, so it was cold and this ole' southern boy didn't stay out in it long./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

<font color=blue>when I brought up snowmobiling last night, she didn't seem overly anxious to go with me this weekend </font color=blue>
Are you actually going somewhere to do some snowmobiling?

need to check the websites to ensure that there is enough Lake Effect snow on the west side of Michigan (likely around Cadillac) to make it worthwhile buying the trail permits .... but if there is, I certainly plan to. I paid almost $10k (canuck bucks) for that sucker before we left Alberta (just about 5 years ago) and I still don't have 50 miles on it .... I need to use it before it dies of old age and neglect. But ... if I need to drive to the U.P. (more than 3 hours), I'll be spending the weekend in the hottub at home.
I wasn't joking about snowmobiling in the arctic ... we would go out at 40 and 50 below .... you can dress for the cold.
Of course, I won't be able to pry the wussie spouse out of the warm house ....

I don't know what you guys are talking about. It's not cold at all. We are in "global warming" because you want to use CFCs to make your lives easier and you naughty boys made a "hole" in the atmosphere over the south pole. Didn't you know that? Just ask an environmental freak, or the EPA. It's not cold. It's all in your head. I don't care WHAT the thermometer says. JEH
