When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

Is "bear" hands a Canadian in-joke?

Well, then, I got "hailed" for a good 15 minutes. My aunt's house is somehow away from any bus stop, given that people who lives in that area doesn't need public transportation.

FYI, the word for hard rain is "hail". It is both a blessing and a curse living in an area with 4 seasons. The snow is beautiful, but it can be a real pain to shovel, and when it is cold outside and the wind is blowing the cold can be extremely painful. Definitely a time to be glad to have a roof over one's head and a furnace to keep the house warm.

I live far away from any snowy point of my country... the closest I've been to snow was this one time when it was raining. I left my aunt's house after a visit with only a sweater. Suddenly, it stars raining while I was walking to the bus stop. The air became really cold and before I realized, a "stone" hit me in the head. I don't know the name for that, but the rain became solid and there was nothing around that I could use as shelter. I just start runnig for it. Those things hit really hard. Ah... the memories of a whole neighborhood with damn too short roofs...

I guess I should be more thankful for living in the southeast US. Here the driveway does actually shovel itself sort of. Well, when the snow happens it doesn't hang around too long. Of course we get the fun of ice storms, which you in the snowier climates don't get the joy of...

^ I see the Hilton Ontario staff have been using photoshop to glamorise their hotel, I've managed to find an unaltered version of the same photo:

MF - are you sure?
This is what constitutes a 5* hotel in Peter's neck of the woods: 
And that's after it was renovated last year... Hardy lot, these Ontarians. |

Then you were way off - as you can see in my sig I was admiring Anneke van Giersbergens voice...

I was referring to you having your stereo volume too loud, thus melting the snow with Lifeson's face-melting solos. |

Peter, Thank you for making the effort. I am not sure about the pig spleen, but I am hoping that the "pigskin" today will foretell the coming of warm weather. (For those not familiar, pigskin is a term used to refer to the football in American football). I made up my own groundhog folklore today in my review of the Tiles concert in the concert review section, and oddly enough there were no responses, but I could probably tell the temperature from the sound of the crickets on that thread.

Alex was in our village in the Netherlands? You're kidding, right?

The reason it melted, was due to Alex Lifeson's guitar solos, Angelo.

^ Not as far as I know, James. I do know there's a station called Naked News on the web - but it's Canadian. Suppose Peter can help you out there.....
@Rushfan4: I think the guy in the book has changed from pig's spleen to woman's spleen - but I haven't read the book, so I can't be sure. @Peter: Nice picture - my kids would love to stay with you over winter holidays. We had 2 cm of snow overnight earlier this week, and it melted away by 10AM.... |

Don't your weathergirls wear skimpy clothes and do strip teases, or is that my imagination?  |

The driveway won't shovel itself...

It is probably for the best that you decided not to make the trip since you would have been expecting all that snow to use with "Scoopy", and 2 inches of snow would only have amounted to a "Pshaw, you call this snow. I'll show you snow..." I will award you an "A" for effort for your alliterative abilities.
