Oh, come on. That doesn't even simulate pouring methyl alcohol into
your lock and hoping it de-ices so you don't have to set it on fire to
get going, or heading downhill at the corner instead of the more
direct uphill, just so you can get some heat in your brake pads before
you hit traffic, or making sure you have backup pairs of gloves and
socks with you, in case it turns sloppy and sleety downtown.

I thought the standard solution was to urinate in the lock. Or is that
just if you don't have a can of sterno handy?

Ready for the Big Freeze tomorrow (Saturday) when
the downcoming Alaska High arrives?

Ugh. First we get thoroughly drenched with mixed
rain & snow, then we get sub-freezing temps.
Talk about the ol' one-two!

I should've stocked up on a number of configs of HotShotz[tm].
hmmm ... that gives me a gift idea for my brother and
sister-in-law, who are trying to survive up-country.

Anyways, HotShotz are lovely and endearable when you need 'em.


cheers,
Tom
