Did I tell you lately that I love my new HSU? It cost me more than I originally wanted to pay, but I'm very glad I bit the bullet. My son was watching 'Blade' last night. Man, the living room was literally full of wonderful sound.

OK, THERE's the example I was looking for in that Mr. & Mrs. Smith thread...

Me thinks me missed somepun here.

No, not really. I was just being snarky. And massively envious of your sub.

. . .and I'm massively envious of your weather. To tell the truth, I'm jealous of everyone's weather.

It's pouring right now. I live in the SF Bay Area, not sunny Southern California. Where it's pouring right now, too!

Remember Mark Twain's quote: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."

Indeed, it is pouring down here. Not so sunny SoCal, at the moment.

The sheep are chugging around in little motorboats on the muddy field outside my window. I hope they're not drinking. . .

It rained here a couple weeks ago. It's on the ground now, frozen solid.

I suppose in some ways, you've got it worse. The weird thing here is that whenever it rains, people act like they've never seen it before. People don't have rain cars, rain tires, rain plows, etc...

I'm up in Santa Rosa (60 mi N of SF), and people here know exactly how to act when it rains: drive faster so that you get out of it sooner! --Martin
