 body get used to the fact that it is getting colder, and (I believe)
 help ramp up the old immune system.
 3)  I don't get a flu shot.  These are prepared way in advance
 of the flu season and are a "best guess" at which one strain,
 of the many out there, will hit big.

Okay, I can't do #1, it doesn't snow here.  Well, it did once when I was in 
10th grade, but that was a long time ago.  Don't ask how long, cause I ain't 
telling!

Below 50?  Can you describe to me what that is?  I put on my coat if it's 
under 70.  Okay, I admit to being a weather whimp!

I agree with you on #3.  I've had the flu on the average of once every 10 
years in my life.  If you are gonna get it, you're gonna get it.  If you're 
not, why put antibodies in your blood stream that you don't need?

And, please 'splain, what's the 10 second rule?  Did I miss something?

And, to bring this back to talk of peppers, I got a six pack of pepper plants 
from HD today, called Super Chili.  I figured they were worth a try, since 
they said "hot".  Has anyone heard of this one?
