The only ice I care to see are the cubes in my drink ;-)

It's just after 8AM here... COLD, 55�F :-)

The Dutch word for that is 'ijspegels'.
I have never seen bended ones like that :-)

I would prefer a cute girl rather than a FET on that Island what's the FET
without soldering iron and for the girl you don't need a soldering iron
don't u?

Yeah, my wife grew up in Boston and never saw curvey ones like that.
The bigger ones get wide and flat and curl enough to touch the
windows.

Neat. Not a BJT in sot-23, but neat.

Yeah, it does that. I get confused about where you are at - Mostly (&
company) seems to be SF, where I somehow doubt this picture is taken,
but you mentioned Charlemont once when burning brush while using wi-fi.
That seems more likely for this picture. Just over the mountain with the
hole through it from me if you are there.
