So, I look out the window and there’s a dude in a bucket changing a lightbulb in our building’s parking lot. Of course, I immediately think of Russ!

    Plus, this guy appears to actually be working which is a dead giveaway that it's not Russ.

    Is a six month long winter in Iowa akin to Mark Twain's famous quip about the City by the Bay?
    “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”

    OK -- so maybe he never said it. So what? ;)
    Summer evenings in "The City" (as folks in the Bay Area refer to it -- at least they did when we lived out there) can test one's mettle.

    A herpetologist studies such things.
    -- there was a person at my last place of full-time employment with a bumper sticker that said "Honk if you love herps!" -- referring to reptiles and amphibians and not STDs.
