Wow,
I had to drive to Lethbridge to get my car fixed. The way back was so cool, the prairie on a moonlit night, saw a shooting star, and tons of mirages. The mirages come when a car goes over a hill in a little dip in the highway...it looks like there is more than one car..then the lights just dissapear. oooooo.

But it was so cold, I had my car's heat on full blast and it was still chilly in my car.

I long for summer!

3. Snow sucks
I envy you in Houston. I'd take the summer heat you get there any day over the cold Ohio winters we have here.

11. Snow gets rid of the creepy crawlies for a few months.
I wish I had it here.

4. I was in Texas for Xmas a couple of years ago
We were in Corpus, actually Mustang Island. The weather was awful the whole time, but it was fun watching all the Texans freaking out whenever a freeze was predicted. You'd have thought that Armageddon was on the way!

2. We spent the day in Drumheller
We also drove home in the twilight, it was very nice. No shooting stars, tho.

5. It was so cold here today
That I accidentally pulled the head off my block-heater cord's plug this morning, glad I plugged er in though. My co-worker did not and his car wouldn't start.

7. It wasn't at all bad here today
Same deal in Drum. It was about -24, but the wind didn't pick up as predicted.

So, was it fun to visit the big city? :evilgrin:

8. There is a feeling of comfort when I go there
I think the access to everything is what it is...I feel much more comfortable in cities.

9. My wife covered up all the plants on our balcony...
...last night.

"Because it might freeze," she said.

It didn't.

But I've worked gassing up cars in twenty below (F) weather, the gasoline was maybe 40% butane, and the wind was blowing up my pants, sans-long-underwear, so I suppose I could live in Canada, eh?

10. If you ever move here
Move to Vancouver! Or the island, it's not too cold there!

12. Thanks!
The Pacific Ocean has always kept me sane. And warm.
