But I grew up in Vermont. I'm used to "real" winters. Snow in November which stays on the ground sometimes until early April in the deep woods.

P...<i> I doubt La Légion has five-star Michelin chefs.</i><br /><br />Point of order, Sir. Michelin operates on a three-star system. Chefs have been known to kill themselves over losing a star, i.e., being downgraded from three to two... or worse.<br /><br />And now you know one of my less-than-sterling qualities: I'm more pedantic than most. <b>;-)</b><br /><br />As for the SAD thing: I'm a believer. TSMP and I ALWAYS got outta Dodg... err, Dee-troit (and later Ra-cha-cha, New Yawk... at the end of February and went someplace for a week or two that routinely served frou-frou drinks with umbrellas in 'em and sand was more common than grass. The girl was born and raised in Michigan's Thumb so she knew winter, as well. Then again, I think it's a bit early for SAD to set in... but we all have different constitutions.<br /><br />As for me? SAD is NOT a problem any longer. As a matter o' fact it's a brilliant, sunshiny kinda day here on THPoNM.<br /><br />Thanks for educating me a bit more than I was on the la Légion Etrangère. I always think o' <a href="http://youtu.be/IZbFNEa34zg" rel="nofollow">Sinatra</a> when someone... anyone... mentions the Legion.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
