A study by the US National Center for Health Statistics showed that an average of 7200 Americans died each day during the winter months, compared to 6400 deaths per day in the other months of the year. The reasons for the increase in deaths is not clear, although traffic accidents, deaths from shoveling snow, and an increase in house fires may all play a part.
 

When I was in Florida, the residents were telling me that a person can increase their life by 3-5 years longer than living in the north. I don’t know where that number came from. I have been checking all kinds of sites and can’t find anything that agrees with that perception.
 
Interesting. I like the colder weather. Don't laugh at me because I live in California. I've lived in Washinton State. It got cold. Not Mid West or New England cold I'm sure. But I liked the weather. As long as I didn't have to drive in the snow which I did.

With this whole Global food crisis, I am surprised the numbers are not higher.
Just this morning on the news they reported that you will be paying $15.00 for a dozen eggs.

Thank God I get mine from my neighbors at $5.00 per dozen or nothing if I trade some veg for them.

My heart goes out to those who have to decide between eating or heating.:(
 
I bought eggs this morning. I paid $1.79 for a dozen at the market.

I have probably been called a lot of names behind my back.
