Brrr, the apartment freeze from yesterday’s comic continues.
If only Randie had fingertips on those gloves she might be warmer.
It maybe tough to find a new place, what with her main job having evaporated. Mopping and cleaning a coffee maker won’t likely do.
You’d think that Spill or at least Ryan would open their doors.
Of yesterday’s comments…
Ruth… I feel for you as guys don’t have to sit on frigid toilets as much. And, I’ve got three words that should make both you and your hubbie happy, Heated Toilet Seat.
Squid… Yup, I personally keep an ice scraper in the car. Sports shops have them, they don’t cost much and they make a quick job of icy windshields.
brig… Big cheering gatherings multiply positive, happy people energy. On the flip side, when your sports team is being slaughtered, big gathering also multiply negative, unhappy people energy. Mind you, that 15 degree temperature (5 degrees with wind-chill) on a sunny, cloudless Denver day at noon-time, was for the start of the game. It didn’t get any warmer as the game wore on, more like the opposite. Worse yet, Denver’s Broncos team lost. See negative, unhappy synergy above and add freezing air and frosted-over windshields to it.
Ah man, I left a big comment for Yat about four or five pages back because my computer didn’t show that I wasn’t at the most recent page till after I posted. Does anyone ever go back to see if folks posted new messages on older pages? I don’t want to re post the whole thing here because it’s not relevant to the current page. It was on the pager where Mouse was playing video games while talking to a friend about his resume.
Okay, I also have to comment on the whole “Global Warming” complaint. Global warming doesn’t mean that the weather is getting warmer, it refers to the surface temperature of the earth, not the atmosphere. The earth is warming up every year by degrees, like having a frying pan on low heat and slowly turning it up over time.
That’s what causes the strange weather where you get snow storms in the desert and droughts in the rain forests. The atmosphere is reacting to the gradually warming surface temperature and causing convection like air currents. It moves the air in strange and unexpected ways. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a scientist or anything, but I do know at least the basics so it kind of bugs me when people who don’t understand what it actually means say things like “Wow, it’s the coldest it’s ever been here this time of year, so much for global warming”.
It’s the global warming that actually causes it to be colder than normal in some areas and hotter than normal in others. But it’s folks not knowing what it means that make it easy for people to brush it aside and say that there’s no such thing as global warming and do nothing about it.
Sorry for the rant… It’s kind of a pet peeve of mine.
stick… I think you’ll agree, if you’re still in the neighborhood, that the temps are really on the “brrrrrrrr”-side here. It’s darn right cold! So this toon is rather timely…. even though it was drawn a month or so ago.
Housework would warm Randie up for sure. I don’t guess that Spill’s place is much warmer… it’s high ceiling industrial space… although SHE would have a space heater or two. Ryan lives on the other side of town.
Dada… shatter, teeth-chattering. They really ought to go outside to warm up.
Pasha… I do believe people go back a few to check comments.
Now let’s keep things nice… this is a happy forum… even if it’s about unhappy Global Warming/Weather Screw-up. I’m sure that the comment you refer to was more funny and ironic than mis-informed.
There was a local band here called Vermillion Lies (they’ve since parted ways) … they did a song called “Global Warming” …”It’s Hot” which was quite funny. Now I can’t hear the term without humming the tune.
Yup, in the neighborhood and have noticed cool temps out here. Nice thing about the ocean though is it warms up winters and cools off summers. Sac’s temps for today are forecast at 50 high and 28 low. As I’m writing this, google is saying it’s now 47 degrees over there.
A space heater can do wonders, as can a heated toilet seat, or so I understand.
Squid Man… Yesterday you shared your ails with iced windshields, and in this evening’s local news they offered up a really simple solution.
Put a sheet or a large towel over your car’s windshield at night (you may want to tuck one end in the door jamb to keep it from getting stolen) and when you’re ready to use the car in the morning, just pull off the sheet and your windshield is clear and ready to go. The station had put out a request for ideas a day ago, and the reporter tried the trick with a beach towel on her car overnight. She said it worked great and the photos she took sure looked impressive. Good luck with it if you try.
If a space heater can blow the circuit, then the property manager needs a wakeup call – and a referral to an electrician. The former can be done by enough people moving out and leaving behind a note that reads “did Edison install your wiring personally, or by referral?” methinks.
Ahh, California home building codes. All y’all brag about how wonderful the weather is, but are completely unprepared for when it is less than perfect.
Grey… Edison could have… the building was built in 1898. It’s been remodeled… but still.
DCS… Yes, we don’t know how to drive in the rain… and people still wear shorts when it’s 20 degrees (guys mostly). And we have these things called blankets…. but beats me how you use them.
I love the global warming song, think I’m going to have to listen to more by that duo. Much fun. Yeah like I said, sorry about the rant, I’ve just heard enough people who have no idea grouch and grumble about the stupidity of the whole global warming thing without actually knowing what it really means. I wasn’t really mad at anyone, and I wasn’t trying to cause trouble; just had to say something.
Pash… yes, the Vermillion Lies girls (they are sisters) do good work. Zoe & Kim Boekbinder…. they do fun cabaret and hot gypsy jazz. They are fun live… If they come to your town, it’s a fun show.
As far as troublemaking goes… I only wish to provide a fun, safe and amusing comments section. I don’t want folks to shy away from commenting because the section is not fun, safe and/or amusing. This is my concern.
Brig – wearing shorts in 20 degree weather doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t know how to deal with weather. People do that a lot here in Iowa, because we tend to ignore the cold more. 😀
When Pam and I were at Austin Comic Con, we were out front smoking and I saw a couple natives shivering in the “chilly” (to them) weather, and so was she (she’s from Texas, heh). I just snickered, looked at my still-open jacket, and said “you Southerners are so CUTE …”

It’s so cold, “Spill” might become “Shatter”!

So cute.
stick… in my building… space heaters blow circuits. Boo. Thanks for the post. Of course they’d be on YouTube.
