WOW, three fates, you would freeze solid up here. We just had 3 straight days of -22C (sorry, not exactually sure of the F conversion), and that is nothing up here. We normally get about 2 weeks a year of  -40 to -50C. And -50C is -50F. It is currently -6 and snowing

Very astute of you James Lee. But you are forgetting one important fact. You see to be considered a party reptile, your blood has to be made of alcohol. So I am more GOLD blooded than anything else

Actually, Pedro, I am in the geographical center of the province. I am 10 hours from the ocean. SO I get short summers and excruciatingly long cold winters too

I'm frozen just thinking about it.  I grew up off the coast of North Carolina where the Gulf Streams makes it pretty close to impossible to even get snow.  Winter for me was usually 30-50F.  Even after 30 years in NYC... I'm still not good with the cold, but I've learned the strategy of layering....

 

THIS IS ELP

Ah, the Northern Lights... I've seen them during my years in Upper Michigan. Truly something to behold. I used to drive along a road until I found a nice snow covered open field (not a lot of open fields in Upper Michigan, nearly all woods) and watch the reflected lights play on the snow. Permanent Waves (It was a new release at the time... cassette) pouring from the speakers.... Oh the memories. 

Once, traveling north across the Macinac Bridge, I broke through a fog bank into the brilliance of the Aurora Borealis and was so awestruck I forgot I was driving. If you've ever driven across that bridge, you'll understand how dangerous losing your train of thought can be. Over twenty years have past and it's still a strong memory.

No pocket protector? Wow, blows that image away. How about a uni-brow? Ya know, one eyebrow that crosses the entire forehead. I bet his trousers sag in back, kinda like carrying home the load in a pair of depends.

Hi East Living. Thanks for the welcome. yeah this is a beautiful part of the world let alone Canada. But I do miss home. And as you all know, home is the most beautiful place bar none. Unfortunately, I am in a town of about 70,000. There are cd stores but nothing big or spectacular. I am also about a 3 hour drive from Mt. Robson, the tallest mountain in the Canadian Rockies. But I am on a plateau here, so I am about 3 hours drive from any mountain in all directions. And I would much rather be in a more temparate climate, say Vancouver. I am also about 4 to 6 hours drive south of Dawson Creek, Mile zero of the Alaska highway, but haven't been there yet. Any folks rock on.

Hi threefates. Yeah it does freeze up here, but you would be surprised how quickly ones becomes acclimated to the climate. I have seen people walking around in shorts when it is 20 below up here. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

 Danbo. Nope, no unibrow either. As intelligent as Peter is, and he is very intelligent, he had many nicknaes but was never called the Professor,  . And I am not even going to get into his saggy drawers,  lolololol. I do trust Peter's musical knowledge, implicitly though. When we were younger we would play a game called "Who is it?" One would put on a tune and say "Who is it?' The other had to make a guess before the first lyrics, or, in the case of Jazz, or fusion, or any instrumental, before the end of the intro. that game certainly increased my knowledge of music. And I give Peter all the credit for expanding my musical horizons. When we first started hanging out, I was as close to a music virgin you could get. Peter, introduced me to sooooo much amazing music.

 WOW your bridge experience sounds scary. I have never even heard of that bridge let alone traversedd it.

Yeah, but you are a real-life talking duck.

I wash my hands of all responsibility for this post.....Confused
