    Hey, Tom, maybe you should move to Canada. On the West coast, you can sail year round, and there is always something in bloom.

    Well, if it makes you feel any better, we're getting heavy wet snow too. I think the winter tires stay on a wee bit longer ....

    Not a bad idea, but I'm sure the Canadian government has me on some sort of undesirables list.

    You know it's spring because...

    ...the bakery reopened today. Ya!

    Many of our local businesses are seasonal. We have too few people here in the winter to support them. The bakery reopening means summer is on the way, which also means tourists.

    Okay. I'll start posting my temperatures in Rankine to compensate for your progressive nature.

    Nonsense. If the American authorities are to be trusted, our standards are far more lax than yours. So, if you're still there, getting here shouldn't be a problem.

    Birds are singing earlier in the morning.
    Blackbirds are doing their funny mating dance routines.
    We got more garden stuff today.
    I worked outside, without a jacket, for over an hour, and didn't freeze! :p

    I can imagine the conversation Tom would have with one of our "finest" border crossing guards"

    Q: Are you a criminal?
    A: Nope

    Q: Are you a drug dealing piece of s***?
    A: Nope

    Q: Are you gainfully employed?
    A: Yep

    Get out of here, you trouble maker!!

    I sure hope you don't talk that way around the meth mouth hillbillies. They'd string you up, then burn you at the stake for being a witch or something ....

    i'm bilingual. :p if i tell someone it's 23 degrees outside, over here, they'd immediately call all their friends, everyone would go and buy up all the toilet paper and bottled water. then where would i be? especially if i happened to be running low on toilet paper.
