Yup, you're right, that's a 239. The one in the rig is a Beretta 92d that I've had for more than 20 years. They were an experiment for my Unit at the time and were made from a special alloy that was supposed to resist any type of hazardous atmosphere. I guess it worked because the weapon still looks brand new. I'm the only dinosaur still carrying one...and the MP-5. I still carry mine, even though the Agency has mostly moved to the P-90. I was actually heartbroken when they took my UZI from me. Apparently, I fear change.

Below is my favorite picture of all time. I'd like to take credit for it, but I didn't take it. As luck would have it, it's a "sexy boot" photo...

No, not me. It's another team member. I just love the picture.

Check out the outside temp reading on my dash. Brrrrr. And it was 59 degs yesterday - I almost put the top down! 58 deg change in one day is hard to take. I'd rather have a couple inches of snow any day over cold.

I have never driven below 0° the coldest it has been is about 9°. I'm curious, will the Boxster display a negative mark if it's below 0° ?

LB I need to introduce you to a friend of mine, she can teach you how to drive in 4+inch heals. She is 5-1 and she has to wear heals to drive or she can't push the clutch pedal far enough. Never seen her drive in less than a 4 incher.

I drove my car this weekend in -28C or -18F weather and the display did show minus number. Boxster do not like to start or drive in this kind of weather. My car has so much torque that it is not easy to drive on icy condition. This is the time I wish I have a SUV.

Wow, that's some skills! She is my hero. I can't even imagine.

And all of you with your 1 degree weather and such, I would DIE! I really think I'd freeze in that kind of weather. My New Orleans blood is just not made for it. The only time I've ever really seen real snow of any substantial amount was in Rochester, NY, and I could not get warm the entire time I was there, even inside my friend's house.
