Less than a week now... Well I hope everybody that is going on the cruise is getting excited, less than a week before we cruise out of New Orleans. Hope to see everybody for the dinner on Friday night.
Yeah, I hope y'all have a great time out cruising in the warm sunshine. It's going down to 0 degrees here tonight - if you want to know what that feels like, go in your kitchen, open the freezer, and grab the metal shelf. :laugh:

The Tropics!!! Really enjoyed LeftNut's post about Michigan. Has lots in common with my state (Wisconsin). He lives in "the tropics" compared to us though. Neighboring town had -33 ACTUAL temp night before last and soared all the way up to -28 ACTUAL last night! Billy C
HalfAssed You got it LeftNut. At this point I'm "halfassed" Some of our southern members might not believe this but I can truthfully say that there are people around here missing digits not because they were severed but because of frostbite! Suicide rate is high here. The rest of us DRINK A LOT!!! Billy C
