    I also prefer blue, but you should get whatever fits your needs, at the time of purchase, wherever you happen to be at that time, and with whomever you happen to be with, at that said time.

    No, but the Weather Channel App is good to have, to make sure your load of pizzas, from Sacramento to Cleveland stays frozen.

    USDA regs changed a few months ago but yet to be posted, you must supplement all frozen bread with dry ice and rock salt.
