Basically I laughed at the Coxes -- are they insane? When we first househunted in Nebraska (we moved here from MA), I marveled to my mom on the phone, "I can't believe everyone house here has central air!" We thought it was because Nebraskans were rich or something. Turns out it's simply damn hot here and you can't live without it (in my opinion).Michelle DeRushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658349105535790020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7863232418644698077.post-74420695113869398572010-08-15T20:31:30.508-04:002010-08-15T20:31:30.508-04:00Hah!

In fact, it's safe to say that I have a definite animosity toward numbers. Sometimes I even start to get angry when I just see a phone number someone left carelessly lying around. So heat + Sudoku would = homicidal rage with a heaping pile of demented delusions for me.
