The temperatures predicted for later this week in Accordion City don’t look terribly promising:
As a point of reference for my American readers, –11 degrees C, the average daytime temperature over these 5 days, is 12 degrees F. –18 degrees C, the average nighttime temperature over these 5 days, is 0 degrees F.
There is something that can help, but unfortunately, it’s not available in Canada. I’m talking about Bob Evans biscuits and gravy, complete with sausage gravy dispenser:
Why, oh why, don’t our 7-11 stores stock this stuff? I love biscuits and gravy. If it were socially acceptable (that is, if The Missus would let me), I’d spend my day sitting in a tub of it.
Oh, my sweet summer child, do you not know about the “Loofah Code” in The…

I don't know why, but white gravy gives me the willies.
Wow, that is one of the most disturbing images I have ever seen.
If you do it at work, and don't blog or tweet about it, The Missus won't know.
I'm presuming that Microsoft has tubs, of course. If it doesn't, you could go to a cyberspa and work there.
whenever I hear about biscuits and gravy, I can't help but think of White Cowbell Oklahoma
Need one of those ...... I could put gravy on my TPS Report.... :)
@Paul: In that case, "TPS" would be short for "Tasty Pork Sausages"!
I love that it says "Start your day right!"
Woah! That's spectacular. I think every major artery in my body just got a little nervous.
The idea of biscuits and gravy always sounded so appealing to me until I realized that the "gravy" was some sort of gooey white stuff. To me, "gravy" implies some sort of tasty meat juice is involved.
