I heard a comedian explain it this way once: Some of our forefathers found themselves on the east coast. One said "Let's see. In summer the temp goes up to 120 & it's humid. In winter it drops to -50 & there are blizzards. Let's build a city HERE!" It's the only explanation that makes sense to me.fishduckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334973392362918928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-60888847213368745242011-09-16T12:19:36.048-07:002011-09-16T12:19:36.048-07:00Night before last we used the air conditioning.
