It's stupid cold. It's not 30 or 20. It's freakin' -10 outside. Why is it necessary to be that cold. I watched a CNN interview of a couple of idiots from Minnesota, where it was -54, and they didn't even have hats on. Idiots! My truck moans when I start it in the morning. The cats walk out and right back in the front door when they scream to go out. It was 65 three or four days ago. Our furnace is real tired of running and has a real appetite for fuel oil, at $1.89 a gallon. Ron Bush Oil, Inc. holds the third mortgage on our house. Bastards! One of the members of my trombone quartet left for Hawaii on Sunday. Bastard! I hope his pipes freeze while he's on the beach.
