Yeah....and up here in British Columbia, we are crying for snow! The
2010 Winter Olympics are on, and we have no snow! It had to be trucked
in from 4 - 500 miles away to Vancouver to the different venues on
Cypress Mountain just north of Vancouver.
Richard, when I met my wife Marie in Toronto in 1947 I used to kid her
about having web feet! Never ever thinking that we would end up living
for more of our lives in BC and as she was born in North Vancouver, I
actually returned her to the place where she was born! So, now over 40
years of our 62 years together have been spent here in Beautiful British
Columbia!......much nicer than Toronto, where I was born!
Send you spare snow out this way, please...
Cheers,
Old Doug in BC
