Cold Weather Work Ethic



I sucked in the philosophical belief of the Protestant Work Ethic with my mother's milk and always regarded hard work as a component of my moral and spiritual duty and lived my life accordingly.

However, as I have been slaving away at "Riverbend" over the past few days and weeks in temperatures above 30 degrees, I have come to the conclusion that it is a belief strongly held only by people who have never visited hot climates.
