I went to visit a friend the other day, and it was so cold that he was curled up in his bed under his down blanket. "When it's this cold," he said, "most people don't even like to leave the house."

Right now, according to Google Weather:

Saint Paul, MN: -20°C (-4°F)
Saint-Louis, Senegal: 20°C (68°F)

I say that when it's this cold (68°F) in America, people are out in swimsuits asking in the sun they haven't seen for 7 months.

Yeah, temperature is pretty relative......
