Darn, just when we have a little covering of snow down we have this on the way, more slush and yuckyness.

Meantime down under some have taken stiff measures to combat the downturn in tourism due to the growing world recession. Maybe they could boost business by free hand outs.

Meantime back closer to home we have the haves heading back to have nots even before the big party.

Meantime much closer to home.

This new initiative should warm the cockles of our hearts up here. Though having an antiquated understaffed system in place seems to add more to the cost and greenhouse gas omissions.

We experienced some of your balmy weather going over Thorung La in Nepal. We asked our friend from Quebec how cold it was and he estimated -15c and -20 wind chill. I had 3 layers of wool, a fleece, a wind breaker and a Goretex coat and was still freezing.

You can have that all to yourself!

They might be healthy and happy but 2 of my fingers had turned white with no feeling and one happened to be the middle finger and I need that for road rage!

No trouble there mate, use your fist, I hear it is a badge of honor [miss guided at is seems] with high altitude types to have missing finger joints and bits of noses and ears and such hanging off.
