The wise Cliff Claven was heard to say:

"Well, ya see Normmy, it's like this...a herd of buffalo can only move as
fast as the slowest buffalo.  And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest
and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.  This natural selection
is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the
whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the
slowest brain cells.  Excessive intake of alcohol, as we all know, kills
brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells
first.  In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain
cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.  That's why you
always feel smarter after a few beers."

No. It's pretty much over, at least for this part of the year. We just
missed some snow up here in the panhandle a few days ago. Now that would
have been some cold rain. Temps right now are running in the mid fifties
in the day to the low 40s to high 30s in the evening.

intelligently (also grew up in the 70's and not many brain cells still alive)

Not in S. Florida!  But it is going to get real cold here tonight.  Maybe in

When I lived in Phoenix about 30 years ago, one of my co-workers at the
bank was originally from Bangor, Maine.  What finally triggered his move
was the summer.  The year before he bailed out, during the period about
May 20 - Sept. 20, it rained from Friday 5pm to Monday 8am every single
