I don't mean to whine, but...

but this is just bullshit. The sun is out and it's -1 degrees. I have never experienced this kind of bitterness. Why did people settle here in the first place? I mean, if you were a hunter, gatherer, farmer, whatever, and some traveler came through and told you that by traveling south you could find places where it's warm all year. No more stinky animal skins. No more eating cured jerky the whole winter. Fresh fruit all the time. More flesh to ogle. Why would you stay?

After my time here is done, I swear I'm moving somewhere warm. Where I can immediately throw out all of my socks. Near the ocean. Where you have to walk slow not to sweat through your clothes.

Expect posts like this for the next few years.
