It looks so warm and uncomfortable. Time to take it outside and put it back in its natural environment!

I could use a new polar here in Dallas this winter. 15 Degrees while taking the kiddos to school this morning!
Great Watch, and Great Picture! |

Richard Jeni had the best line about Chicago. According to him it was originally founded by two guys from New York who got the idea when they were standing around in Manhattan one winter day looking around, when one said to the other, "You know, I'm really enjoying the crime and the poverty, but IT'S NOT COLD ENOUGH!"
Love my home town, sweet Chicago, but must confess I don't miss the brutal winters.
