Oh man, you guys won't know what cold is until you hit the high desert way down south here! Okay, okay so it's a 'dry cold' but still ...
Can't say I miss the good old days with the odd 35 below thrown in and you'd get those ice balls on the end of your eyelashes like you were Sir Edmund Hillary or something.
Hi Alphonse
I can imagine -500F to be very eventful:
* Bush voted most compassionate politician
* Blair voted most truthful politician
* England win Soccer World Cup (amend that England win anything)
* Mrs YesBut stops buying handbags
* I tell Mrs YesBut "here is £100 go and buy more shoes".
Lin: I remember those days. I don't miss them either particularly. Alberta is also a dry cold, so it doesn't go through you to the bone like it did back east.
YesBut: at least Mrs. YesBut has something to look forward to.LOL
Moose, c'mon. Join Lin and us down here in the high windy desert where the wind speed sometimes drops to hurricane force so's we can get our kites flyin'.
cat: When I see the pictures, i sure am tempted. But then I would be too far away from the Grand-moose. i go through withdrawal when I don't see him for 3-4 days.I couldn't leave for too long.
If we do head your way, I will be sure to et you know.
Oooh, that last one was VERY "dry"...!
The way the Leafs play(at) hockey, Hell will never freeze over.
Moose, here's some trivia for ya. Shatner used to hit on my sister when they were teenagers. She couldn't stand this chubby kid perennially dressed in thweeting black corduroy pants.
Wonder if they'd be any better at BASEBALL?
Well, why not? Since we've already RUINED that game for history, they couldn't HURT it's reputation, for sure...!
Lin: I'm glad your sister was smart enough to run. Course, he probably has more money than he knows what to do with.
Bruno, I think they are probably better at golf. Since they are out of the playoffs so early, they get a lot of extra practice time.
t is too bad that just a small number of players have killed baseballs reputation.
