A slightly late new years challenge.

I was going to post one of my guam stories, but while I was looking at juice at the shopette I came up with a simple challenge. I thought it would be funny to get a drink, i.e soda, juice, an energy drink etc, with a far away expiration date and leave it in my fridge for as long as possible up to that specific date. Because some of these beverages say "for best flavor drink by this date" on them, so I wonder, will it really enhance the flavor if I wait 6 months? So the challenge, to all who dare take it is, go out and buy a drink, and leave it in your fridge until that date. Will you succeed and be rewarded with the best flavor you will ever have in your life? Or will you fail and give in to your cravings? It's all up to your integrity, if you consume the beverage before the date, you must post that you've done so.

"The colder it gets, the warmer it gets."

This quote came from someone I work with. He's lived in North Dakota for as long as you or my grandparents were just twinkles in their parents eyes, so he's a bit crazy. I've said it a few times and people seem to be confused as to it's meaning. Hell, I don't even really understand it. It has been a topic of discussion between co-workers since long before I showed up. The general consensus on its meaning is as long as it is negative degree weather, with no wind, you don't feel the cold. This actually hit home not 10 minutes ago as I was standing outside thinking about how I want to buy a pair of GL20's. I checked my phone and it said -18. There was a slight breeze, but it didn't feel like I was standing in the middle the arctic circle. Granted, because of that breeze I felt a little cold, but it didn't FEEL like it was so low. When my father jokingly said "It's too cold to snow" to me awhile back, it made even more sense. But how does it being cold affect the cold? It begins to get more mind boggling when I think about it, especially because it has only snowed once since I've been here. I've research to do on this, a.k.a ask him what he ment by it several times until its dumbed down enough for me to get.

The moral of the story, for now, listen to the crazy people. They actually know what they are saying....even if they can't say it sanely.

A Wild Pogg! Appears!

They said I wouldn't make it. But here I am! Finally in the big leagues! I know if you were here with us today, you'd be so proud of your son. I miss you Pop!
