[Rhodes22-list] Cold weather hits the tropics!

[Ben Schultz]

It's cooling down really fast in Baton Rouge, so you must be getting 
good and chilly by now. It was in the 70s at lunch time today. Down to 
50 and thunderstorming when I left work, and getting ready to drop in 
the upper 30s now. I'll be outside Friday night during some of the 
coldest weather in our recorded history, smoking turkeys. At least it's 
a pastime that involves fire, and I have a 90% full bottle of Mt. Gay to 
help the warming process.

Hope all of you guys have great holliday seasons, and hope all of your 
teams win their bowl games (unless you're an Iowa fan, since they're 
playing LSU)!
