Unh, each has his own preferences. Me? I'd much rather grab a hot Nancy when I'm done working outside. But I guess I know what you mean. And as for the satisfaction -- yes, I think of that often. The weather here, like so many other bits of living way out, helps a man test his mettle. I wouldn't like living where it's so easy, so mellow, that there's nothing much to do that'll make me feel that I've accomplished something worthwhile. Rearranging the rocks in a desert garden doesn't make it happen for me.
