OT Things you would not learn if the weather were not 40something below C....
When removing your car key from the ignition at -j40 something C, do not put
it in your mouth, no matter how many parcels you have to pick up. It sticks to your tongue. Dawne, who just found this out |

Dawne, who just found this out Oh dear. It's supposed to warm up here to -20 C or so tomorrow. Positively balmy. I hope some is left over to go your way. Dora in Calgary |

Joan yes, the key thawed very quickly in my mouth--but I thought it was very funny! Who would have thought the key would get THAT cold in the ignition during a fairly short drive???? Dawne |

Yesterday it was 77F, today not more than 32F and in a few days, it will again be in the high 70sF. Meet Texas. No, but from your comment I am apparently doomed to live some of it. It is sooooo cold, but at least Joan, andFred, and I have roofs over our heads and light and heat. Dawne |

I was watching CBC and they were doing a report on the homeless in places like Edmonton and in Vancouver. In some ways it is worse in Vancouver, because they are just not prepared for the extreme cold temps. It was 8C here yesterday, and it is -4C today so we are relatively well off. I went for a walk to the post office, and to pick up the paper, and really enjoyed the briskness. MargW |

Joan We now know how to insulate, too. But when these houses were built 100 years ago, they didn't think it was necessary to insulate in Sunny California. -- Karen C - California Editor/Proofreader www.IntlProofingConsortium.com "On his tombstone, Benjamin Franklin wanted it said not that he had been rich but rather that he had been useful."
