Haha! 3F is tropical...
It was -5 with a -30 wind chill this morning when I went out to start my
Dak, which didn't start, it was so cold the cheap battery my dad put in when
he killed it (anyone with a '96 knows how annoying that buzzer is. How does
one go about leaving the lights on?), died a rather undignified death,
leaving me to drive his Voyager. :-(
