Re: “I like air conditioning.. Not heat...”Oh, you'd like it here then. All the air conditioning you could want. And it's free!

A couple of days ago, I knew that an ice storm was headed our way. My wife had scheduled an appointment with a mechanic for Friday morning, and I wasn't relishing the idea of having to get up early and scrape the snow and ice off of two vehicles. I saw an old, ratty tarp and had an epiphany. I covered up the truck with the tarp, and strapped it down with bungee cords.

When we headed outside this morning, I found to my chagrin that the tarp was now cemented to my truck by ice. It wasn't just a matter of getting the ice off of the tarp; the tarp was frozen in many places to the body of the truck - ... even where there was no ice. It was like it was glued on.

I didn't care much about the tarp. As I said, it was ratty. I pulled on it hard to get it off, and it tore. No biggy, but it left brown residue all over the truck's hood, doors, top - like a permanent mud coating. I imagine it will eventually wash off, but I really don't know.

Some of the tarp couldn't be removed. The ice was like rock. I had to get scissors and cut the tarp away, leaving good size portions still stuck.

When I was nearly done, I pulled some stragglers off of the top of the shell. A big piece came loose, swung off the shell and... an attached piece of surprisingly solid "free air conditioning" came down with the tarp and hit me in the cheek. If it had hit my mouth instead, I'd have lost teeth!

We left for the mechanic about twenty minutes later than planned.

Later that morning, my wife told me I needed to wipe some food off my face. See? She's not always right. It was blood...
