Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for May 07, 2009

Scott, hope it’s just a coincidence that your character wears the same T-shirt in all seasons…

Ha! I’m always on the never cold side of this conversation, and the other person never fails to say, “But its freezing!” whenever I state that I don’t need a coat. Then come summer, I live in air conditioning cause I can’t stand the heat. I keep thinking I need to move somewhere colder, like the Arctic circle.

I am also the last person to put on a jacket. Until I got married, my thermometer in my house was set at 59 degrees, unless I had guests, but I can also tolerate the heat. Where I admit defeat is in hot, humid climates, like Houston or Miami after a rain. I do not like to be sticky hot.

ds133 - it’s great until the permafrost melts and your cabin starts to sink into the earth. That, and the mosquitoes.

Cold is relative. If I’m skiing, cold is wonderful. If I’m standing in eight inches of slush waiting for a train because snowstorms don’t cancel work, cold is hell.

You can’t please all the people most of the time.

note to audience the leading character in the black t-shirt with the shaved head with the Fu-Manchu beard and goatee might suggest that the he might…. just might be just a little shall we say not too concerned with discomfort

I love the cold (usually). Heat I can’t stand.
