First time I saw the fluffy stuff was when I was 21 and went up in the cable cars in the Venezuelan Andes. (No snow when I lived in Kuwait for about 3 years in the early 70s - oil and warmth seem to be my "thing.") No thanks, while you guys get your jollies hearing the sound of snow flakes on water (puleez!!), I'll see if the Mad Poodle will invite me over for some of the fresh caught lobster he was tantalizing us with!!! Signed: Sandy Kramer from Miami where it "shore" don't snow except when they import it over the holiday season so the kiddies can see what it's like to make (and throw) a snowball. (For real - they actually do this!) * In case you missed it, the subject line is supposed to be read to the tune of Raindrops Falling on my Head :) OK, I'll answer your question of "What was she doing in Kuwait in the early 70s" My first husband (now you're going to wonder how many husbands I've had - sheesh) was a British (he's Scots/Irish) diplomat so we were assigned to the British Embassy...which leads to the next comment: Good thing to come out of Desert Storm? My son is delighted that people now know where he was born. He was real tired of "Kuwait? Where's that?" *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
