What snow shovel?  I think the last time we had a snow accumulation
here in the flats of Santa Clara Valley was in 1961.  But I could be
mistaken, it might have been 1941.  Of course there was that time
there was the hard freeze in 1982 and all those citrus trees died.
Oh wait, you live in Atlanta; too cold for citrus, right?  No
ocean, high humidity, racial tensions, a history of slavery, and 
people like you who enjoy sweeping generalizations... why on earth 
would I be jealous?  Oh, and my buddies don't want to move to
Atlanta or Phoenix; in fact several of them escaped from the latter.
Too hot, plus they have Ted.  Guess Atlanta has you.
