By me our lows have been in the single digits and highs in the teens the last few weeks. Somehow I have gone on with my life including being outside and have survived. I've been skiing in -20F and also survived.
It's hard to say no to the kid who will inherit the company. I don't know if he would have won somewhere else but I definitely think it would be good for him to go to a team that isn't affiliated with Gibbs.
