in the winter of 1994

when i was living alone in a big house, and Eldora was no longer there, and all my pipes were frozen, and the whole house only had 1 fireplace for heat, and all my cactus froze because i had to move into town for a few days to stay alive......if someone told me "don't fret, someday you will be where you don't ever have to drive in snow, and you won't even have to wear socks..." i would have thought that was a mean thing to say.
