I am cold, I am true. I believe in what I do

I have a quiz today at 8am. We received the following e-mail from our professor the night before:

Dear Students,

I'm from the northwest corner of Chicago and this extremely cold night reminds me to add a product called "heet" to my vehicles kept outdoors. It is a gas line anti-freeze that also absorbs water. It can be purchased at Wal-mart or K-mart or just about any gas station (about $2 or $3/bottle).

I will also run the cars for about 10 minutes or take a short drive around 10 PM and then again at midnight. I also will try to park them with the front facing either the east or south or some mix of the two.

I also encourage you to make some connections with friends who have their cars inside a garage and start early in the morning; to give yourself some time in case your car won't start.

I wish you well in your studies and look forward to seeing you in the morning! Keep Warm!

Sincerely, Dr. F


Needless to say, I absolutely CANNOT WAIT to walk/run to school tomorrow before 8AM to take a quiz. The high tomorrow is 15 degrees. It is currently 5 degrees outside. The number five is never good if it refers to the amendment you have to invoke in a trial in order to stay out of jail or if it relates to the temperature outside in Farenheit. Or Kelvin. Especially Kelvin, since you would be dead.

Well, the good news is this: My apartment sitting at 60 degrees will feel freaking toasty when I get back!
