Jab1:

That was cruel and unecessary.  
(I can say this with the proper air of gentle sternness, 'cause I’m in San Diego and it’s 75 and sunny here, too. Ha!)

Don’t worry, Cher.

Jab will no doubt be swept away by a mudslide caused by an earthquake during a riot instigated by a brush fire, on his way to the beach.

Then Fox will make a TV movie of it, and cast Paulie Shore as Jab.

Here’s the current [weather](http://www.weather.com/weather/us/zips/33957.html) here in Sanibel. 72 and at least where I am, overcast. It’s been a bit of a dreary week here…

Like the weather’s ever different around here? It’s always the same, only cold and damp instead of sunny and mild.

I would like to take this opportunity to inform all posters who post about how “nice” the weather is where “they” are that my first job at the Boeing company was working on software for Minuteman missiles. **Targeting** software. You get the picture? You think it’s warm there now – just wait!

Seattle has more sunny days than we have rainy days, so the mix is better.

Besides. I really dig rain! Hard rain, soft rain, horizontal rain, misty rain… RAIN! Weather’s cool.

Here in Nowhere, Montana it’s 63 degrees, sunny, and absolutely beautiful. It’s a nice alternative to the usual dreary, snowy February.

Pluto: You can target L.A. You can target San Diego. But **for god’s sake** , leave Orange County, California, alone!

You don’t want to destroy either my house or the [Diego Sepulveda Adobe](http://www.donaldlaird.com/landmarks/counties/200-299/227.html) (the only notable historic feature in my town.)

You can destroy Orange County too. But wait until after 16:30 hours. That’s when I go home.

I’m baaaaaaack!

S’matter, Chief? Did you have to stand a Midnight-to-four watch? Or are you going to stand one? Oh, and I corrected your post. You should’ve included a comma after “faces”.

I don’t get it. At all. I hate that kind of shit weather especially in winter. Winter is all ABOUT snow and snowball fights and snowmen and so on. Save the 70+ shit for summer where it belongs. And please keep summer away as long as fucking possible.
