Then again, the cold would have it's benefits; skiing, snow balls and all that. With the heat all you can do is sweat, drink beer (I guess that's a positive) and watch the garden die...

You're right, Ed did speak to someone hot, which is ill-advised. I do think cold is better than heat, because you can always heat up, but rarely cool down.

Another positive: when the garden dies, you can bury it in itself.

I don't know how y'all survive. This is how we are in Texas

Bury the garden in the garden? I like listening to my audio book of 'To Build a Fire' by Jack London when it's a little chilly (5) around here in winter, esp when camping. It's a nice book; about the stupidity of man, really, rather than the cold, but we all know man is stupid, otherwise how would we have got to where we've got to with all that stupid history behind us? Not with wisdom, surely?

With the advances in science and telecommunication, I think our understanding and application of future stupidity will surpass the greatness of its historic predecessor. Do tell me some more about this book, it sounds interesting

But yeah, bury the garden in the garden. That may even work as a fertiliser.

It's only a small story. You can find the audio at loudlit.org, it's in the public domain (i.e. free). I could email you the file but it's 35 meg...
