Oh get out the fish, Matty is going to go a whacking
7:57 am

So the whole groundhog thing is a big hoax. The groundhog doesn't actually see or not see his shadow. He speaks "groundhogese" to some dude in a top hat who then knows which scroll to pick (shadow or no shadow). They must be smoking some choice weed in Gobbler's Knob.
7:58 am

my buddy lives in southern ohio and went to florida for his annual trip. he went a week later so it would be in the 70's this year. its 55. i didnt go because of not wanting to catch covid, but he's loving it

hokie carla
we went to Amelia Island over MLK weekend and it was 50s a couple of days we were there. still seemed nicer than here.
2:28 pm
AtlKru
i cant wait for a couple of days becasue it will rain and clear the roads long enough for me to ride my moto. then snow the next day lol
2:29 pm
hokie carla
but isn't it cold riding?
2:29 pm
NANCY
they are correct. I lived in Michigan my whole life until 1984 when i moved down here. When you live in colder climates, the corpuscles in your body are deeper under the skin but when you move to a warm climate those same corpuscles rise to the surface just under your skin so you feel temp changes more readily and cold is felt at a higher temp than when you are up north. When i first went in a pool down here the first year, I swam in an unheated pool the whole year but myu fir
2:30 pm
NANCY
my friends said, that will change and by the second year i no longer swam in the pool in the winter months.
2:30 pm
AtlKru
i layer and have cold weather gear. i can ride 4-6 hours at a time down to 34. after that its 30-40 minutes max.
2:30 pm
hokie carla
I have seen it with myself. when I was at virginia tech, low 50s meant shorts, sometimes we'd lay out in the sun in swimsuits. now 50s is long pants and long sleeves.
2:33 pm
NANCY
I took multiple trips here before I actually moved and yes for short times it felt great to be out in the sun in the 50s but when you live here for any length of time that changes. If you still want to move here hokie, welcome to Florida.
2:34 pm
hokie carla
what are are you in?
2:34 pm
AtlKru
i used to work outside in FL. took a while but i got used to 100 degress 100% humidity at 9am. construction.
2:35 pm

People from up North have laughed at me when i told them about 100% humidity with no rain.
2:35 pm
AtlKru

2:35 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I don't know about that, Atl
2:36 pm

2:37 pm
AtlKru
im in blacksburg until i graduate
2:37 pm
dcseain
yeah, glasses steam when you go outside. And i have to clear my lungs and fill them with the humid air to breathe easily when i go out.

I left Michigan for the very reason of the cold weather, snow, ice, not a winter sports person so I am happy to not be in snow anymore. I live in Melbourne/Palm Bay area on the space coast where all the rockets used to be launched. I saw John Glenn go up on his second mission while standing on the beach. It was awesome.

Molly, I was puzzled by your icon, so I decided to do an image search. Google wasn't as helpful as it sometimes is, but I gather it's a neo-paganist image.
8:30 pm
Gillie
The triskelion has been used in a lot of different ways, of course, but I found that image on a pillow with the description "Waking Earth Imbolc Serpent Pagan Sabbat Throw Pillow".
8:36 pm
Gillie
And now I've looked up Imbolc, and I've discovered that is celebrated by Irish Christians yesterday and/or today as the feast day of St. Brigid, although it is thought to have been originally a pagan festival honoring the goddess Brigid.
8:36 pm
Gillie
It's certainly a lively image, anyway.
8:44 pm
dcseain
Yes, it was coopted by Rome when they arrived there.
9:04 pm
hurshy
Rome was nothing if not big on co-opting
9:24 pm
