Huntin' Down Cold

The weather here has been such that EVERYBODY talks about the cold. Even folks who normally profess to enjoy the cold are making derogatory comments. I've noticed in conversations that Cold seems to have taken on a life of it's own.

Joe's car didn't start. Not because of low temperatures. Cold prevented Joe's car from starting.

The water main on Ginny's street broke. Not because of low temperatures. Cold made the pipe break.

Billy headed off to school with wet hair and his hat froze to his head. Not because of low temperatures. Cold caused the hat to freeze to Billy's head.

If Cold was smart, Cold would get out of town before angry folks start rounding up a posse.  Cold won't stand a chance against a platoon of angry citizens armed with propane heaters and heat guns.
