Global Warming


As I walked out to the garage this morning, I noticed the outside temp was 13.5F. Al Gore must be right, it's global warming! I discovered on last night's ride home that my Widder gloves were not heating up.

During the first year I owned them I had experienced this problem and called their support folks. They informed me that the gloves are simply a loop so that if one fails they both will not function. I ohmed thru both gloves and discovered the left one has failed this time. Last time I had one fail they were still under warranty so they replaced it. This time its on my dime. I'm a bit dismayed with the quality as I am not interested in having to replace them annually. So I may have to find another manufacturer.

So, I did what any good survivalist would do. I put on my summer gloves then put on my widder non-working electric gloves over them and made my way to work. I have to say I enjoy the stunned looks and comments when you walk in somewhere after riding in 13.5F weather :)

Once Santa and his team of reindeer returned to the North Pole, a townhall meeting was held to evaluate options and ensure the safety of Santa and the reindeer. Ideas and brainstorming ensued with suggestions ranging from satellite defense systems, arming the sleigh with sidewinder
