While the East is Freezing

Dr. K's new 'do
While most of the rest of the country is experiencing record cold we here in the Desert Southwest are having springlike temperatures.  It was 71F (22C) yesterday, and we're headed for the same today.  I know for a fact that visitors from colder climes are enjoying the weather in New Mexico, West Texas and Arizona.  What's not to like--except it may be representative of climate change.  Oh well, people who are constantly cold don't mind a little global warming.
