better that than the 110F you were getting in your current summer. 
tennis players dropping like flies and major wildfires.

and we like our liquid nitrogen. lotsa fun to play with. ever have a 
marshmallow quick frozen in it? i had one at the pittsburgh science 
museum at one of the first 2 yapc's (went with a small group of 
perlers). the marshmallow was crunchy! it wasn't too cold as the demo 
person let them warm up a touch. you chewed on it and it melted and 
stayed crunchy, a most interesting and very memorable experience.

uri, who is looking forward to this spring after a very cold winter
