Thanks for the funny "mental" picture of you rescuing your chickens in a bathing suit and flip flops in the middle of winter. There used to be a saying "I can't go out in the rain I might melt." While that may have referred to the Evil Witch in the Wizard of Oz; however, I was once working at a large business office, and I happened to be working the switchboard when 2 men were debating whether to go out into the rain, as they might melt. Well, sometimes my mouth doesn't wait for my brain to engage and I blithely said: "If I believed that for one minute, I would be buck naked standing in the rain until I got down to the weight I would like to be." Needless to say, they were speechless, later I wished that I had been. Hope the rains stop soon, as there is so much danger of the flooding in several states. We had snow, sleet, then freezing rain 3 days ago, great way to end the year. NOT.
