Well ya better bring a lotta whoop 'cause I got a lotta ass. I'll be waiting
for ya this February- you'll find me out on my porch in my shorts, t-shirt
and shades, havin' a beer and grilling up some tri-tip, brats, pizza,
beer-butt chicken, veggie kabobs, whatever.
Heck, in the last few years, its barely gotten down to 40 above, never mind
40 below. This past winter was an exception- got down to the mid twenties
several times, but it still got up to the mid-fifties during the afternoon.
350 days of sunshine a year- this is why we live in SoCal desert.
However, I'll make a deal with y'all: I'll feel bad for you in your
February/40 below if you'll feel bad for me in my August/123 above.
