Mike, the Cali boy doesn't do that well. This morning Mike goes out to start my car and leave for work and notice the windshield is caked with a layer of ice. It was 31 degrees out in my portion of the IE. 1 degree below freezing. So Cali boy Mike had to scrape ice off the windshield this morning with his squeegee. Mike first had to find the squeegee. Mike's hands got cold. Mike let out a few expletives about how he is not meant for this. Mike cursed the weather because how often does this happen in Cali? Mike got in the car, drove about 6-7 minutes until the heater kicked in. Mike was a much happier camper by then. The car even told me it was cold and there was ice. All the way to work it said "DANGER ICY" in the little message center on the console.
In this time, Mike also had to be mean. Remember how mean Mike's sister was to him last week? Mike decided to turn the hose on, hose down her car, and because it was 31 degrees the water turned into ice. Mike's sister threw an even bigger fit from what he understands. She didn't have to leave for school until 8:30 leaving 2 1/2 nice hours for the water to stand and form into ice. Mike's sister was unsure about what to do and he heard stories at dinner about how she was just so upset about getting soaked with the hose trying to get the ice off of her car. Mike laughed and rejoiced in that his mission worked to ice his sister's windshield.
On another note, contrary to what it sounds Mike actually enjoys this weather. Mike loves the cold temps, the warm clothing, the holiday feeling.

You call that cold?! It's like below 20 degrees where I'm at and 31 would be almost balmy in comparison. It's sad, I know. I hate the (true) cold.
Is Mike speaking in 3rd person? Also, what Mike's sister did was quite amusing and defies common sense.
I can never find the ice scraper when I need it...a credit card or gift card works ok in a pinch.
Your evil, icing up your sister's car. Funny!
Dude. I want you to come to Ireland between november and january. Ice on the winshield is nothing new.
get the kettle from your kitchen, fill it to the brim, turn it on for 30 seconds. pour it over your winshield and get in. turn your wipers on.
First - we almost had Great White Death 2008 here this week - it missed us but it got down to about 28 degrees.
I love the fact that your inner bitter queen is coming out. Watch out as she can be a bitch. Personally I have learned to embrace my inner bitch. Another thing you can do to her car is to take the cap off the air stem on the tire and find a tiny pebble and put it in the cap and put the cap back on... the air slowly leaks out. Always nice to do to all 4 tires... I may have some other stuff you can do ... Meditate on this, I will...
I would advise against 'creative thinker's' suggestions. If you do those kinds of things, you're no better than her. Don't give in to the dark side, Mike!
Oh, what the heck? Give in. Punish her. Gandhi's era was long over.
and you wonder why she texts your friends as you??? oh my! :)
Sasnta knows who is naughty and nice! Stand by for coal in your stocking. Better park your car down the block for a while. Might be wise to remind your friends every few weeks to expect messages from your sister so they aren't so upset when it happens.
Anyway, you flunked the maturity test this time but you can pass it next time if you wish. Your choice, always.
Mike
