I like the weather. In Holland, snowy, ice, cold rain.

This is the most home runs I've hit. The pitching here is so slow. I gotta be patient.

Take long walks in stormy weather or through deep snows in the fields andwoods, if you would keep your spirits up. Deal with brute nature. Be coldand hungry and weary.

There have been some down days (during which patrols were not conducted) because of weather and other reasons, but we are still patrolling the no-fly zones, particularly in the south, aggressively.

Obviously, it's frustrating when you get weather like this. And the (weather) forecast is not good for the next two days, so I think it will be a drawn match.

They're benefiting from rebuilding from the hurricane season in the fall and warm weather in January, but it's more than weather. The business just has been good. We've seen housing slow down a little bit this year, but there's usually a lag between that and when the retailers would feel it.
