The world would be a better place without feet. Well, besides the walking implications.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but the segue from talking about sock puppets to puppet theater was exceptionally clever.
Near minus degrees in here, that’s great, can’t wait for Christmas. Watching Lord of the Rings the trilogy in family. Day 23, 24 and 25.
I remember Christmas '05 in Martinez. It was so warm that no one had to wear a coat and all the kids in my neighborhood played outside just like they would in the summer.

It's been unseasonably warm here. Thanksgiving is two weeks away and I'm still sleeping with just a sheet over me. Maybe a thin blanket if it gets a little too cold. It's 74 outside right now.

Far too dangerous - could puncture a passing tyre if he raised it too high.

I was probably an odd kid. Man. If I didn't live in a hole in the road most of my life I might have done something with it

Same here, even in the Summer. It’s been snowing off and on the past couple days. And of course it will all be melted by Christmas, just like every year.
Yeah, high-80s is what I call nice and warm. Approaching 100 starts to get uncomfortable for me ..... except in desert type landscapes where it's a dry heat and I don't mind that then.
Warm as distinct from hot? Yes. We had only a handful of 90-95 degree days here this past summer, just a lot of mid to high 80s even at its peak, usually.
