That's too cold.


Quantas airlines will be hiring dogs to fly as a cost savings strategey. By law they have to pay them the same wage as the human pilots, however it is well known that Dogs never live long enough to collect their retirement at age 67 thus the retirement fund could become solvent again in about 17 years.

However some company insiders see this plan as short sighted and say off the record that the company will become insolvent after just a handful of wrongful death lawsuits that are expected as a result of this policy descision.

Shares of Quatas Stock were down 602% at close of trading today.

The construction method I chose eliminates any possibility of frozen pipes inside the house. The bays in between the studs are the same temp as the interior because the insulation is outside. There was, believe it or not, a method to my madness.

I can't speak for the well line. We did bury it below the normal frost depth and insulated it where it rises closer to the foundation. Being plastic, if it freezes we're basically make the beast with two backsed. Water usage should take care of it.

I guess it would depend on how you were dressed.

Exposed skin would become frostbitten pretty quickly...about 10 minutes.

Anywho, coffee's on; granola in the bowl; dogs fed, watered and exercised.
