Breen's mom Cindy has this great story about a friend of hers who moved to Minnesota 30-odd years ago.
The friend moved here from California or some other such generally warm and sunny place. She moved in the middle of the summer.
One day she finally asked Cindy, "Why do they always say 'above' on the weather report?"
"What do you mean?" asked Cindy, having grown up here and never noticed this before.
"You know, when they give the weather on the news, they say 'It will be 75 above today.' Why don't they just say 'It will be 75 today,' why do they always add that 'above'?"
"Because there's a below."
'tis the season. Happy New Year!
