I just returned from a weekend in Toronto. I have gained a new level of respect for those who live above the 49th parallel! I can only compare my experience of walking out of a pub in downtown Toronto at 2am with the scene from 2001 when HAL ejects one of the crew into the cold void of space. It was beyond weather! It was another planet, radically different from the one my home in Delray Beach, Florida exists on. I was told it was -38 (at that temperature C and F are about the same: brutal) and the only comments passed by the locals were: "A bit cool eh?" I will never complain about hurricanes or mosquitoes again! cya >>> It was real cold this morning and getting colder. My wife said that it may drop into the twenties this evening. As a "Floridian" for twenty-five of my forty-three years, I suffer cerebral flatulence when the red on the thermometer turns blue. We had hoped that my recent eyeserectumy would help. We are still optimistic. >>> *************************************************************************** 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/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Jan 21 2000 - 11:14:07 PST
