Quote:Winter isn't nearly as fun in this city.If it gets down below zero and there's a huge snow storm right before then you could always try hitch hiking on the freeway late at night dressed like it's September.. Trust me, it's not quite as much fun as seen on TV, but close.. That was me in the late 70s.. If not for some damned miracle and someone spotting me above the line of sight of trucks then carrying my frozen near corpse to his pickup truck I wouldn't be here today.. I've never been so cold in my entire life. I lost all the feeling in both legs by then.. Now THAT's a bit chilly..
