Y'all don't know about cold this winter (that's southern Saratoga-speak). The temperature hereabouts has not once been above -3 Celsius, 27 F. for close to two weeks and as I write this the outside air temperature in -20 Celsius, for us lower 48 folks that's -4 F. but since the wind velocity is only 3km/hr, virtually no 'wind chill' so it's really spring-like, but I am burning quite a lot of natural gas. And watching a lot of football. Television-wise. Reminds me of watching Jack Lemmon in "The Apartment" 40+ years ago. In a Paris cinema, entitled "Le Garcionnaire" or the guy's-apartment. The film was subtitled and there came a time when Lemmon uttered a then-current idiom: "well, that's the way the cookie crumbles". So how do you translate that into French? Or Spanish or German for that matter? It came out something like "eh bien, c'est la vie" Stay warm, guys and gals. Seth Seth
