Just what I need you little shit...you telling me about sandy beaches and palm trees swaying in the warm breeze...while I stare out at the Grey Abyss... :)<BR/>I also remember when they called in the army here. But really I'm not surprised. Toronto's snow clearing operation is not good enough for a major city. Here they force homeowners to clean their own sidewalks. In Montreal they have tiny bulldozers that zip along and can clear a neighbourhood in a couple of hours.<BR/>Of course they NEED to. Did you know that Montreal is one of the snowiest....if not THE snowiest major city...in the world?Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-36363786267835242262008-01-08T19:34:00.000-05:002008-01-08T19:34:00.000-05:00HI PSA...thanks I enjoyed writing it.When I watche...HI PSA...thanks I enjoyed writing it.When I watched some of the videos on the Radio Canada website a whole bunch of memories came flooding back. I wanted to include a bunch of other stuff like the nightly War Room newser with the Dark Lord Lucien Bouchard and the head of Hydro....reporting on whether we were winning or losing. Megawatt by Megawatt.That was special. And you're right about the trees. When I saw what had happened on Mount Royal I was really upset. But you know I went back last summer and I could hardly notice. Isn't nature wonderful?<BR/>As for your cat...19-years-old...that's wonderful and amazing!!!.Something tells me your furry friend has been REALLY spoiled :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-80454697798494018022008-01-08T10:01:00.000-05:002008-01-08T10:01:00.000-05:00when i came back to Canada yesterday, there was ab...when i came back to Canada yesterday, there was absolutely no snow on the ground, and the weather was warm, even though i had just spent my time in a tropical climate!
