Retired,
Thank you again, for your information on the dog collars. It is appreciated.
As for the cold, are you trying to tell me, that 0 degrees F (here in the U.S.), with sun and light winds is a 'nice winter day'?? I recently got back from Afghanistan. When we flew from our FOB (Forward Operating Base), which is the base we flew out of, for coming out of country, into Kazakistan (Outside of the Old Russian Gulag are). When we left, early in the A.M., it was in the low to mid 20's, when we stepped off the plane in Kazakistan, it was under 0 degrees. Now for a boy, from Southern Louisiana, a little town across from New Orleans....THAT IS COLD!!! It was SO COLD, that at night, I was in a sleeping bag, inside a heated tent (we had to move a couple times, b/c the Army heaters broke down), and where the tents joined, snow was actually pushing it's way inside of the TENT!! The temp that night, was -15 degrees F, that night. There should be some type of training, for southern folks (below the Mason-Dixon line, etc.), about going to the head, in -15 degree F weather. This is common sense for you, but just to give you a 'heads up', NEVER, I mean EVER (after washing your hands, in the 'Latrine'), should you touch a stainless steel door handle, to close it. My hand froze in the blink of an eye. So here I am, in a foreign country, at 0200 in the morning (with military patrols patrolling the area), and I'm stuck to a 'latrine' door. I had 2 options, I could spit on my hand, to release myself (which is nasty and unhealthy), or I could rip it off the handle....I chose the latter.
Don't even get me started on the Port-O-lets (commercial bath rooms) on the base!!
Anyway, thank you again for your helpful information. Take Care.
