Heaven forfend the towel should slip!

We'll get all these lovely guys moved up here, and then we'll hit them with a -20 F temperature, with strong, gusty winds. Errr, that's -29 C. Or +244 (more or less?) Kelvin (what we speak at our accelerator).

Is that the living room or the bedroom....

Well, err, that's outside. The living room and bedroom are Toasty warm (assuming we have paid the correct bills) but SOMEBODY has to restock the ingredients for our Zany Carter Deluxes.

P.S. Those temps haven't happened YET. This year. It's nice and warm at 44 F today. but we've had those temps for Christmas before.

I mean, *I* could volunteer to go get the Zany Carter stuff, but then I'd have to change. You wouldn't want me to have to get dressed, would you?

I knew there was some reason I turned down that free ride to U. of Chicago...

Okay, who's next?

Black velvet, yes. Elvis, erm, I'll pass

We need MR Lounge branded ones...

You mean they're not??

But they told me they were - even showed me some professional-looking certificates...

Harv: Radio?

Vivaldi: I can probably get some smooth jazz if we're flying over Chicago.

Harv: Just say check!

Vivaldi: (sullen) Check.

Pathology? Pathologist? I thought that was one who certified voters in Chicago.

There is a high demand for certified voters here in Texas, also.

What you need is then the Thermaltake X-Ray 5.25 Drive Bay Kit pictured below.

Not only does it hold your coffee, it also provides a space for a car cigarette lighter to be inserted and used. Perfect for those long sessions responding to Lounge threads.

Oh, my .... 44 you say?? It's 75 here today. Cooler than yesterday, but still on the warm side. Although they tell us that we might get down to freezing and below this Sunday night.

I have actually experienced a 70 degree drop in an 8 hour period here. There was one night it was positively tropical outside at about 85 degrees or so at midnight, and the weatherman kept predicting snow .... and I was going wtf?? Is he nuts???

Sure enough, got up the next morning to 17 degrees and snow on the ground. Texas has got some strange weather .... ever so strange sometimes.

He told me that my cats and dogs look so happy and healthy (which they are). I would say about 8 of the cats were no shows .... and where they hid is beyond me, but in each room, I would point out the cats that were there, and then I was stuck saying "also in this room, but apparently invisible, are Kevin, Warren, Roan, Marian, and Pinkerton ...." and "also in this room, but again, invisible, are Cameron, Ellen, Erin, and Madison" .... and so it went.

But .... IT'S OVER!!!

what a relief !!! congratulations !!!
