[Rhodes22-list] freezing

[Ben Schultz]

Chris, that was me.  Todd got the freezing weather, and I'm the one 10
degrees north of hell.  I don't remember an October day as hot as we had it
Sunday.  And it's a good, heavy, humid heat rather than a nice dry heat that
feels okay with a little shade and a breeze.

I'm getting old and crotchety.  I can't seem to find anything to post other
than complaints about the weather.  I sure don't want to bring up Saints or
LSU football.  (Oops.)

  Good heavens Todd, do you live in hell?
