I’m going down to Florida for the summer and I’m not bringing my laptop. I don’t know if or when i’lll have access to a computer. I’ll miss being able to read the dope daily and miss seeing all the familiar posters. I’ll miss you guys and gals leave me a message here. 😉

Yeah, well you can just get righteously fucked off. It’s winter here, and it is seriously cold for this time of year. Hope you get sunstroke in Florida.

Har har. 😃

Right. Sweepstake! How long will **pool** last before not even all that sun, warmth etc. etc. stops the mad dash to some computer terminal _somewhere_ to get that good ol’ SDMB fix?

Maybe a week …

And here I am in Florida, trying to fathom why anyone would come here during the summer months on purpose! It’s at least 90 degrees every day and muggy. Sometimes I get nauseated just walking from my office to the car and trying to breathe the steam that passes for air in these parts.

Amen! Give me some old-fashioned cool weather any day!
