Well, this blog will be inactive the next few weeks as me and mine dip our toes into some warm water on a beach somewhere south of here. Don't want to get sand in the laptop, so not only do I get a rest, but the blog does too. Here's hoping everyone has a merry Christmas and we'll see you in the new year.

A mountain climber had a very harrowing experience while caught in an unexpected blizzard -- barely escaping with his life, he was finally rescued and brought down the mountain. Examination showed that both legs were severely frostbitten and some amputation would have to be performed.
After surgery, he was sorely disappointed to receive a note from his fiancee instead of her physical presence. Seems she couldn't marry him due to his condition. She was "lack-toes" intolerant.
