7. How much did your glasses weigh?

Mine were 14 1/2 pounds.







Between that and the wind resistance caused by my yet-to-retract ears, my best time in the 50 was a minute and 49 seconds.

8. Yep, that sounds just about right.

And all these years later I still have to wear 'em. :cry:

12. I wish there were icicles here to watch out for.

I've been watching the northern storms with envy- I was born and raised in northern Indiana, and lived through the winter storms for many years. But now that I'm in Texas, I find I miss such things badly, especially during Christmas. It's just not the same without a carpet of white on the ground come Christmas morning.

Such is life.

10. Are your neighbors the Bumpuses?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

11. Everyone has their own Bumpus.

No exception here. :rofl:

They have excellent hearing.
