At college in Maine one winter it was -45ºF. I tried to start my car and it just groaned.Can't imaging it staying that cold for very long.

Scissors are really not a problem except for those horrid "ergonomic" ones. I do many things right handed: bat, golf, kick a ball, deal cards. Using pencil sharpeners and fishing reels came fairly easy. When I was in the Army, gas mask canisters were on the left making for some issues when having to fire a rifle. Speaking of....the empty shells ejected to the right plinking off of my helmet. Fortunately my early teachers did not have me writing with my left hand doing a very unnatural twist, just a mirror image of the way righties wrote.

The front wheel coming off the bike actually happened to our younger son. He didn't secure the wheel properly and it came off when he was jumping a street curb. Luckily only a couple bruises/scrapes.

I had both of mine at one time. Used one on my key ring as I was prone to leaving them in one classroom when going to another. Made it easier to people to get them back to me. I've lost/misplaced both. Wish I had one left to pass on to my offspring as a momento.

But, But............

The newer ones are great. When I had my heart surgery I remember being in a prep area and looking over to see a clock at around 8:30 AM. Next thing I know I'm in what I thought was still the prep area and looking over to see it was 9:00AM. I'm thinking I dozed off for half an hour. WRONG. It was the next day and I was in recovery.

I've been an Apple/MAC guy ever since they brought those big gray 2-Es to our school. I hate the forced obsolescence making you upgrade every so many years, but that's our world.

I was working at Cornell at the time in entomology research and had some equipment controls that I had worries about. So New Year's day I went in to the facility to make sure everything was OK. It was.

Lke when I used to wear my mirror shades, ala the man with no eyes in Cool Hand Luke.

Lampyridae larvae ?

When I was working as an entomology technician at Cornell in an underground quarantine facility I went to work in the dark and came home in the dark never seeing sunlight. Love it in SW FL where the short days are not so short.

Back in the day, pop up a giant bag full of popcorn for the kids and head to the local drive-in movie. Fun times.

I was not aware that toasting had "fallen out of favor" in recent years. I plan on doing some on Monday at dinner.

Cute? In your house? Laughing hard? Could those folks in Colorado might be under the influence of some "legal" illegal substance?

So that's what it looks like. First time on it, I had no clue it was an indoor coaster. Then as I am being given a mild type of whip lash, I realized what it was.
