Hey, even I can't complain about the temperature.  I get up at 5:30 just
about every morning and often times am on the water by 6:15, but
recently whenever I get the the boathouse it is around 45F, very
doable... especially since we don't get each other wet much anymore.

shirt and spandex shorts.  Not only an ugly picture, but pretty damned
cold)

I'd like to indulge this thread with a little bit of source taken from
the POVRay Docs

  #include "colors.inc"
  camera {
    location <0, 0, -6>
    look_at <0, 0, 0>
  }
  light_source { <-20, 30, -100> color White }
  light_source { <10, 30, -10> color White }
  light_source { <0, 30, 10> color White }
  #declare PLAIN_TEXTURE =
    // red/white check
    texture {
      pigment {
        checker
        color rgb<1.000, 0.000, 0.000>
        color rgb<1.000, 1.000, 1.000>
        scale <0.2500, 0.2500, 0.2500>
      }
    }
  // plain red/white check box
  box { <-1, -1, -1>, <1, 1, 1>
    texture {
      PLAIN_TEXTURE
    }
    translate  <-1.5, 1.2, 0>
  }

Notice the indentation?  I did not add it.  Ken, take this as implicit
recommendation to indent.  Perhaps we should ask the authors to add this
in.

Ahh, but you're comparing apples to oranges.
I'm comparing my winter to his winter. You're comparing your summer to his winter.
Still, I
imagine that is not too rough either.

And Jon you failed to mention that where you live near the coast it
is usually cooler because of the onshore wind flow from the ocean.
Ten miles inland and it's suntan time in the middle of February.

Pleasant surprise to see I was mentioned as one of the "missing". I'm
found now. Looks like Lance is too. Twysted is probably way to busy
these days, www.povray.org tending as you know.

You know my name, you could know my age, and maybe where I live. In case
you don't though:

 Bob Hughes. Age 40. Somerville, Alabama, U.S.A. (born in Decatur, AL)

Hi Bob and Kelly.

P.S. I was re-doing my web space, still not through (recuring theme
there for all it seems).

True but nothing beats Michigan weather.  Where else can you have it 60
degrees in the morning and by afternoon have the ground covered by snow?
