Dave,
Wherever you are, it's way warmer than most of the country. I'm guessing the Caribbean or Mexico. Party on!

The naked one on the far left looks downright aggressive.
The warning is in English and properly spelled. That rules out most of the world as well as New Jersey. Perhaps Montpelier?

Dave is looking....blond.

Dave is just trying to throw us off. It's actually 18 degrees where he's standing and there are snowdrifts 5 feet high out of range of the camera.
Posted by: nursecindy | December 27, 2010 at 01:02 PM
I noticed Mrs. Blog was smart enough to let Dave go into the "Poisonous Trees" area alone.

*Waves @ Hammie!!!* Feliz Kwanzaa!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 27, 2010 at 01:29 PM
The only trees I know of, that are poisonous to the touch, are those related to poison ivy.
Yews are poisonous too, but most people aren't stupid enough to eat trees.

*Waves @ Annie!!!*
Loved your article, btw. Anyone who has not read it, please do so.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | December 27, 2010 at 01:36 PM
Maybe Dave is doing "Survivor"?
Weather update: It is cold in Miami. YES. Under 60 degrees COLD. I don't like it one bit. And don't gimme all that bullcrap about how many inches of snow you had to shovel this morning cuz it ain't gonna work. YOU chose to live in the frozen North. WE live in Sunny, HOT, FLORIDA. WTFBRRRRRRRRRRRRBQ?
Dave was smart to travel to an undisclosed, dangerous but WARM location.
Posted by: Siouxie, freezing in Miami | December 27, 2010 at 01:50 PM
I bet he got a break on the lift tickets though.
Posted by: WVplantman | December 27, 2010 at 01:54 PM
Those poisonous trees ingeniously resemble poisonous rocks.
Posted by: NotSherly | December 27, 2010 at 02:10 PM
A 'break', WV? More like a compound fracture.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 27, 2010 at 02:15 PM
The words are in English and it's clearly summer. Australia, New Zealand or South Africa are my bet but maybe somewhere in the Caribbean cannot be ruled out, they speak a language closely related to English down there.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | December 27, 2010 at 02:30 PM
we have a foot of new blowin snow and its about 20 deg. i'll take the poisonous trees.
Posted by: queensbee | December 27, 2010 at 02:45 PM
We should start a "Where in the world is Dave?" contest. I'm with Mot. I say Australia. Queensbee, stay warm.
Posted by: nursecindy | December 27, 2010 at 02:52 PM
I plan to complain extensively about
inchesfeet of snow, now that I have a dislocated shoulder because of it. And you people in reptile-raining, insect-intensive semi-foreign states can just .... chill.Posted by: Meanie the Blue | December 27, 2010 at 03:12 PM
.. and I believe Dave is now at Treehenge.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | December 27, 2010 at 03:15 PM
You in the Everglades, Dave?
Posted by: Suzy Q | December 27, 2010 at 03:21 PM
Poisonous Trees are opening for Frosted Floridians.
Posted by: Mo | December 27, 2010 at 03:26 PM
A dislocated shoulder? Did it move South to escape the snow?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 27, 2010 at 03:45 PM
It tried to escape before the job was finished, but was coerced back into place and rejoined its brother to complete the task.
BTW, some of us Jerseyans have figured out how to spell "occurring". (Along with "Advil".)
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | December 27, 2010 at 03:57 PM
My blogging arm was the one affected, but I will soldier on, albeit with perhaps less graciousness than usual. Apologies in advance and in retrospect.
Posted by: Crankie the Blue | December 27, 2010 at 04:10 PM
Dave found one of the coolest spots in the Caribbean...the path to the Bubbly Pool on Jost van Dyke to be exact. The Bubbly Pool is the perfect place for gassy guys to swim. Who's to know if the bubbles are from wave action or man-made? Hey Dave, did the little black and white dog lead you to the pool? I love that dog.

Thank you!

Not for you, Crankie. NotSherly said they belonged to Bailey.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 27, 2010 at 05:25 PM
I had to dislocate Bailey's shoulder, but I got 'em.
Posted by: Crankie the Blue | December 27, 2010 at 05:42 PM
Blogger down! Blogger down! Or at least somewhat bummed.

He's OK. We bonded over a bottle of THIS. Help yourself.

*bellies up to bar - snags drink, snarls at Bailey*
Back below freezing in ATL again. We made it to 35 for a while today.
Posted by: pogo | December 27, 2010 at 06:12 PM
Crankie, I looked at the "Blend Tasting Note" on that - "a distinct fruit salad note with honeyed sweetness" - sounds a little, um, light in the kilt to me.
Posted by: pogo | December 27, 2010 at 06:28 PM
pogo, every time we get bad weather here in the Carolinas it comes up from Atlanta. How about keeping your bad weather to yourselves and quit putting it on the I-85 corridor? I'm not sure what the I-85 corridor is but the weather people always say "The (insert bad weather here) is in Atlanta and is coming up the I-85 corridor to the Carolinas!".
Posted by: nursecindy | December 27, 2010 at 07:44 PM
Lava rocks. A few trees. Gotta be eastern Idaho, where it doesn't snow alot??? But there are leaves on the trees. Dam.
Posted by: EB | December 27, 2010 at 08:09 PM
Gonna be cold. Better bring in your brass monkey. Here's Crankie's version.
Posted by: Loudmouth | December 27, 2010 at 08:45 PM
Ya know, I looked at that picture closer and the rock may refer to poisonous lizards trees. Beware Dave if they haven't already gotten you.
Posted by: Loudmouth | December 27, 2010 at 08:49 PM
^lizards in trees^
Posted by: Loudmouth | December 27, 2010 at 08:58 PM
I don't know, Loudmouth. Your first guess seemed on the money. If the local lizard trees were poisonous, I'd want to be warned.
Posted by: Elon | December 27, 2010 at 09:41 PM
A google search for poisonous trees turns up info on the Manchineel tree. Apparently touching one brings blisters, and the apples, while pleasant tasting, also kill you. They apparently grow in the, conveniently warm, Caribbean and Central America. Signs are often posted to warn about the danger.

*Shuffles up to the bar and SMACKS Bailey upside the head*
GIMME THAT!! I'm COLD DAMNIT!!
*chugs it*
Posted by: Siouxie, freezing in Miami | December 27, 2010 at 10:16 PM
Siouxie, it's 52 in Miami. We dream about it being 52 here. Right now it is 25 degrees where I live. But, because I like you, here is something to keep you warm.
Posted by: nursecindy | December 27, 2010 at 10:44 PM
"Iguana fir."
That's what Siouxie said. To stay warm.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 28, 2010 at 01:44 AM
Annie, I enjoyed your article very much. I wonder if anyone has told Siouxie that a glass of wine can warm you up? It is 20 degrees here in N.C. I went to pick up something to eat tonight and had to let my car warm up for 20 mins before I could stand to get in it. That was AFTER I scrapped the snow off the windshield, roof, and doors of the car. I want Spring to hurry up! I spoke to Jeff Meyerson today and he said he couldn't even see his car in NYC because they had 18 1/2 " of snow. I thought La Nina was supposed to make this a mild winter.

If the iguanas start to grow fur, it's time to move someplace even more tropical...

Global warming is a
mith mothmyth. Global climate change is a fact. The question isweatherwhether it's caused by man or a natural cyclicfenomenonphenomenon.Posted by: Mot the Hoople | December 28, 2010 at 02:11 AM
Easy for you to say, Mot.

*mails Siouxie her belated present - world's smallest violin*
Bummer, Crankie.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | December 28, 2010 at 08:18 AM
Nothing like a 20* (F) temperature and a steady 25 mph wind (with cheery gusts up to 40 mph)to wake one up. The lake next to my house is frozen. The housecats are smug and warm, knowing they don't have to go out. Winter is here.
Dammit.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | December 28, 2010 at 08:27 AM
And Meanie heads for the office.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | December 28, 2010 at 08:56 AM
Actually, I'm borrowing one of THESE from a friend and heading for Brooklyn.
Posted by: Crankie the Blue | December 28, 2010 at 10:09 AM
Speaking of Brooklyn, check out image no. 2 from THIS series. Coolest photo I've seen from this storm.
Posted by: Crankie the Blue | December 28, 2010 at 10:13 AM
*oops - ducks*
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | December 28, 2010 at 10:21 AM
That was a great picture.
The plows finally got here at 11 last night and have been back several times this morning. The main roads close by are pretty clear. The problem is, once you dig your car out and drive wherever you're going, where do you put it when you get back home if you don't have a driveway &/or garage.
I'm waiting for the thaw.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | December 28, 2010 at 10:24 AM
Has anyone checked on Siouxie to make sure she has not frozen?
Posted by: nursecindy | December 28, 2010 at 10:39 AM
Somebody messed up on the shirt. Those colors belong to U of Miami, not Miami U.
Posted by: oneblankspace | December 28, 2010 at 11:11 AM
Siouxie braves bullets and errant granny-cadillacs to live in a temperate climate. She has earned the right to stay warm.
You northerners choose to live up there in the cold- whine a little closer to the snowbank and all your hot air will thaw it out that much quicker.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | December 28, 2010 at 01:15 PM
