One of the biggest things I get a kick out of since Valerie and I moved to Dallas, is how people react to "cold" weather. I will admit that I have become a wuss and when it gets into the 40's or 50's I think it is cold, but having lived in Iowa and Minnesota I know that this is not cold at all.
The following is what I love about Texas...last night a cold front came through and left overnight temperatures in the 20's and the high today was about 38. The LEAD story on all of the local stations was about the cold front moving in. They had reporters outside all bundled up and they were interviewing people around town. In one interview a lady at a gas station was asked how she was coping with the cold weather and her response was, "I went and stocked up on food, I'm filling my car up with gas, and getting ready to settle down at home." Oh and they even did a story about how pizza deliveries are increased when it gets cold.
Come on people, the temperatures were going to be in the 20's and there was no snow, rain, sleet or anything in the forecast. Welcome to Texas...I am sure that will be me in a few years.
