Paine, when I stand outside at night and the sky clears, I could swear
that the cold of space is pressing down upon me. *I know it's IR
escaping from the Eath into space that makes things get colder, but it
seems more intuitive to think of it as some agent of cold that is
hitting me from space!

That's very poetic, AA! *Get yourself a can and start
spouting this stuff on a corner and see what happens!

Street poetry is, AFAIC, an honorable profession.

As far as the logistics of heat and cold? *These terms
are relative to the experimenter. *The feeling of heat
or cold is a transference, hotter areas transfering
their heat to colder areas. *Say, a man comes in from
the cold and jumps in bed with his wife, who has been
bundled up for some time. *She is warm and transfers
her heat to him. *To him, she feels warm. *To her, he
feels cold.

In spite of being quite the bard, you are Normal, AA.

happy days and...
* *starry starry nights!
