Ya, we're quite sensitive about that jackass having come from Stratford. Really embarrassing.

Yeah, that large cylinder of compressed gas with all the piping does not look very confidence inspiring. I won't even ride in that thing if I can avoid it.

Anyway, my friend's biggest selling point is fuel economy.
So far, I have not said the words "If you're so concerned with fuel economy why the hell did you buy a Dodge Ram in the first place?" but I probably will at some point.

In all fairness I know people that knew him before and he was fine back then. The US broke him and should have to buy him.

Hey, @Tcoat or the Calgarians. How's your winter going? I need help identifying some plants. Are these tulips or daffodils that are sprouting?


Thanks.



Heh...

Dark out or I would counter with the buds getting ready to come out on my magnolia tree.
Most years ya you would have me but this year it is just plain weird and frankly I don't like it since it scares me a little. Was 10 degrees here today and I may have to cut the grass soon. So far this whole winter we have had a total of maybe 8 inches of snow and every time it fell it melted two days later.

Dafuq?

I just checked my hometown, which is like 9 hours mostly North, and they're forecasting above zero next week. Average according to science should be -10.

Well then... How about palm trees?



(I thought I was finally able to fit in with the Vancouver attitude of being a superior, arrogant, douchebag based only on where I happen to live, but noooo.... Humbled by unseasonably warm weather in the rest of the country. Curses...)

Ya but the Great Lakes are not freezing over like they should and if we get nailed from the north with anything really cold we will be truly fucked. Then you will have your revenge.

I hope so... Hopefully then that will be the limit of my Vancouverization. Otherwise the next step is veganism. (If that happens I give permission to compassionate souls to remove me from the horror via a thirty-ought-six...)

This puts us someplace between Arlington and El Paso in population about 9 months of the year.

I had no idea London was that large! It must all be well away from the main 4 lane highway.

Arlington's great, BTW. I'm not sure anyone would ever have a good reason to go to El Paso.

Ya the 401 highway just barely touches one side of the city so it can be deceiving.
