    Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

    Is that merely a quote because we're in the quote thread, or is it a response to Edward's post?

    Point taken, Rusty, the quote is Pollyanna ish. Good and bad are personal judgements based on circumstances and attitude. It's just weather. Nevertheless, I shoveled snow all day and found it exhilarating.

    I agree. In my view the weather isn’t bad unless it somehow negatively affects something I need to do. I just try to stay prepared for all of it and hope it doesn’t make daily tasks too difficult.

    Highs in the single digits might suck to some. For me, though, it simply means I'm staying in and spinning more vinyl. Lemons for some, lemonade for me.

    It's like flies on a screen door, half are trying to get in and half are trying to get out.

    It's funny, even if it's not accurate.

    Since my opinions are always right, why would I change them? 😅

    From 1440:

    "I had reasoned this out in my mind; there was one of two things I had a right to, liberty, or death; if I could not have one, I would have the other; for no man should take me alive; I should fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted."
