“Q2”
# 5 :It was cold and rainy outside
.......................................................................................................................................................................................
The weather seemed to have changed for the worst. The calendar said that it was late summer. The weather could have been late fall. Late fall for somewhere that it got COLD. Weather like this wasn’t supposed to happen in south Texas, but it was.
Sure enough. Whatever Levi asked it too make, Blue would make it for him. Levi ate steak, drank boilermakers, and scanned the menus some more. All those pretties, what did he want? This was better than Aladdin’s Genie. He wasn’t limited to just three wishes. He had an unlimited number.
He had glanced at something labeled a “read-me” file earlier which described the Magic Wand’s operation and provided an overview. Most of the explanation was above his head. It mentioned something called ‘non-statistical fusion nano-generators’ fueled by hydrogen and boron. What did THAT mean? There was also something about CHON. It seemed that over 90% of food was made of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen, all of which could be sucked out of the air. The tiny portion that didn’t come from the air was something called ‘trace elements’. He didn’t what that was.
It might as well have been Greek for all he knew.
Didn’t matter.

Sometimes it's hard to tell fiction from the news.
I forgot my coat and my shirt for that matter when I walked outside yesterday morning. Inoculation. But no sir not today. Wind chill was 11 degrees.
And what's crazy is people from up north say it feels colder here in Texas due to the humidity. Can't wrap my head around that one.
oh hell yeah.
I'm a retired trucker...I been everywhere.
and the coldest place in the whole damn world is.
Amarillo Texas in January...that wind cuts right thru you like a knife.
I felt colder there than in Fargo North Dakota later that same month.
It was actually forty below in Fargo and maybe ten above in Amarillo...but it FELT colder in Texas
dunno why...rilly weird.
Out of all places, Amarillo. I've only driven through there on a road trip but it was early october. So no chance to freeze to death then.
