Today I ordered a new National Cycle Plexistar to replace the one Bambi destroyed over the summer. It's a must to cope with the brutal winter here in the desert

After many months of sub-zero temperatures your body really does adapt to it, and anything over 30 seems pretty livable, I kid you not. Still, I'll be happy to trade places with you , Nemo!
I've seen this phenomenon in AZ. On a cold winter day at the airport (50s or 60s) it's not unusual to see a plane land and a bunch of upper midwesterners hop out wearing shorts, sunglasses and flip flops, while the locals are bundled up like Alaskans.
Haha, that's some funny stuff. When you live on the arctic tundra you feel kind of like an animal coming out of hibernation in the springtime.
