Out here to get away from all that cold, snow, block heaters, sliding cars and frozen fingers! :) I like snow and cold on Christmas cards and that's where it should stay.:) Hey I did my time with all that eastern freezing hell! Everyone smiling like they enjoy snow shovelling, ein stuck cars or sliding and bumping into each other. And me, when living there, stupid enough to keep going out with my Leicas and photographing the fools making ingloos with happy faces!! :) If it's really cold that's OK, but I didn't move 3000 klms to grow gills and web feet! Heck if I wanted that, I'd have moved to Hawaii!:) At least it's warm water and weather!:) Besides my Leica M's work much better in warm ocean breezes! Pretty faces and, well you know the rest! :) ted This CAN >be done: I am cheerfully bi-coastal and sit in grey skies and icy rain by >cheerful choice, alone and tough.
