Cold Cold Cold! fun times in the cold!

Yeah for the most part the coldest part of winter is over, but we won't really have a melt down for another month or so, it's still below freezing, but it doesn't feel cold at all, we've had a mini snow storm all weekend, so were just dealing with frosts all over... It got to be -5 last night while 2 hours earlier it was 25, the weather changes so quickly up here. Actually, from what I hear the seasons aren't much longer up here then in Vegas, we just get a longer winter coupled up into summer where it gets up to the upper 90s. So it will still be the extremes, just more cold then hot.


Well... You can move away from trouble... but you might not like where you have to move... Funny thing is, the colder a place that you move to the less gangs their are, because no one wants to be out in the cold... My entire mission I think I've only seen one instance of graffiti, and it was on a trans-continental train, so who knows when it got put there. Not trying to suggest moving up north, but just pointing out that there is a very significantly lower crime rate in cold places, I kind of think it's funny. On the flip side, there is also a significantly higher percentage of drunks. Yay beer!

Cold Cold Cold! fun times in the cold!

Oh! and ldsmail.net is having a revamp, their setting up a new system and changing my e-mail address, tell everyone that my e-mail address is changed to brady.kissner@myldsmail.net instead of brady.j.kissner@myldsmail.net, I'm pretty sure that for a while their going to forward all of our e-mails to this account, but I don't know how long their going to do that and if they are planning on shutting down the old myldsmail.net system so.... yeah!

Anyway, have fun in the rain!

Brady, Chapter 1

1. Lo, I do write at this day in lament of the dirge that faces me like an icy lake to which none throweth me a paddle, or warmeth my face.
2. For unto me this day cometh no letters of comfort or news, no e-mails or stories thus past.
3. Thus I have been forgotten these twenty and one days by all that I held to be my friends and companions, and have not received pen, nor script by their hand.
4. Verily, I have gone these seven days without e-mail or typed word from those I held to be my family and supporters, and it doth greave my soul exceedingly.
5. But verily, I doth not surrender the hope that hath been given me in times past, for I know my friends and companions will take up the script, and my family and supporters will take up the bored, and they shall communicate with me.
6. And such at that time will my joy be full, and my happiness sufficient to go through another week in the service of my lord, knowing that those who I have left are of good health and have much rejoicing in my Lord.
7. For lo, my heart rejoices knowing that with time those who once had forsaken my e-mails will write an hasty e-mail in the morn, yea, the final moment before I depart, and will send it to me in an attempt to bring forth contact.
8. And how great shall be my joy when the e-mail comes forth from the icy dirge of the computer screen, and the inbox thereon will read, but one message that is anew!
9. I would that I should continue to write this e-mail towards you who hath forsaken my e-mails past, but I knowest that it must be sent in haste, for verily only then can thou seest it and sendest thine reply to me, the servant of the Lord.
10. And I closest mine epistle in the name of boredom, Amen.
