            @FairlyVague At least we don’t have it as bad as @neph93 where winter last’s 11 months and 3 weeks… give or take a week...:D

              Yeah but it’s a dry heat… [emoji1]

              Seriously though, the mid-western winters are damn cold even by my standards. Inland climates are evil.

              What makes it tough up here isn’t so much the temperature but the latitude, the wind and the constant low pressure/high pressure exchanges.

                Yeah, inland climates are brutal.  It's only supposed to get up to 67F/20C here tomorrow.

                I might have to wear socks.

                  Edit: Definitely not a relevant rant, with so much going on, just thinking out loud. My old phone (ironically pictured here on its first day in 2014) broke and I lost a lot of photos, so I was going back and looking for posterity.

                    Clearly I’m talking about latitudes where people of good sense, intellectual means and physical apptitude live. You’re talking about Texas. On another note, lovely to see you here, darling, even without socks [emoji8]

                      Absolutely a relevant rant and a well made point. I like the idea as a partial solution to a sad and aggravating problem. There aren’t that many old timers left but we could try and make a mailing list to get in touch with more.

                        Exactly.  It's nice to know someone understands my pain.

                          I bought $70 worth of candy and nobody came for candy.

                          Maybe so. Maybe not

                                  I Just saw this reply Reuben. I had to throw the candy away. I musta ate 15 bucks worth.

                                  Maybe so. Maybe not

                                    I think I met you were lucky not to have cover-kids knocking down your door all night. But now you mention it win/win with $15 of candy in the locker  😃 Sorry I'm like Halloween Grinch. I love the spooky season thing but that kids knocking on doors drives me nuts.

                                      Remind me never to use Bpost (Belgian mail courier) ever again. Sent a parcel to Germany on Monday that should've been there today… The tracking # now says it will be delivered today... At my address...

                                        They do have the most amazing sense of humour… It felt like a hidden camea set-up when I just picked up a different parcel at the PO... Upon looking at my work addy, the lady starts frowning, going "Hmmmm, where do I know that name from..."

                                        MAYBE IT'S FROM THE GUY WHOSE PACKAGE YOU RETURNED WITHOUT REASON AND THEN DIDN'T DELIVER THIS MORNING FOR NO REASON.

                                        She then remembered what had happened to it, but couldn't tell me why. She promised it would be delivered tomorrow.

                                        And it's a GOD DANG rant only cause I wouldn't fuss it was a package for me, but this summat for a forum member  😞 😞 😞

                                          This is "Fall" in Texas.  I collected 32 bags of leaves and enjoyed balmy 80F weather while doing so.

                                            I am really lucky.  I have a large coal cellar.  I put the leaves in large sealed plastic sacks, chuck them in the coal cellar for 2 years and boom, perfect leaf mould to improve our soil…..
