Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 10, 2012

Yup. A Michigan girl. Gotta love ’em…or else!

Notice who’s wearing shorts, and who’s NOT!

Wearing shorts when it’s 30 degrees out is just plain silly. It’s 30 here this morning. I don’t generate enough heat to not be cold when it’s 30, while running.

Whoa! You can tell this is Michigan! The grey is getting to all of us! Me, I’m turning all the lights on and closing all the drapes!

Might as well move to Alaska. They’ve got free nursing homes up there.

The climate in most of Africa selects for ability to radiate heat, not conserve it: long limbs and trunk to maximize surface area, body fat concentrated in the butt and hips. African-American GIs suffered way disproportionately from frostbite during the Korean War.

“Any day could be the last nice day for a long time.”That’s why the best sex I ever had is always the last sex I had.

You could always move to Arizona. Today’s our coldest day this year and it’s sunny, and a slightly chilly 63 degrees By Tuesday it’ll be back in the mid 70’s. We have A/C for the heat in the summer, and 2/3’s of the state are over 4500 ft.

zedman2222: I thought grey was a kind of cup. The zed part of your nom de web should also have been a giveaway.

Indoor temps this year 68-82, no heating, no a/c and no wind except the afternoon ocean breeze. On those chilly winter mornings you can choose between swimming in the 75 degree water or having another cup of the best coffee ever. Dang I feel good.

It’s also “grey” for the color with Brits. I always thought “Grey” was just for names (Earl Grey Tea, Grey Poupon, etc.) and “gray” for the color, but found out that distinction and usage is pretty much confined to the US.

Well hello all you Michiganders posting here. This turned out to be a real nice day. I took my jacket off while delivering.

Wait… Calvin got older and his mom got younger?? So confused.

I’m a Michigan girl.Born in the shade of the Great White PineWalked the trails of the “Porkeipine”.I’m a Michigan girl.

Flip-side of running in the cold: my wife and I were in Red Bluff once when the temp was low triple digits. We were wilting, being that where we are from triple digit temps are front page news (and that’s part of why we live here), when a guy jogged past us wearing full sweats. All a matter of perspective and what you’re used to, I guess.
