Yumpin yiminy. you got that right !

Well ... 1t's -13 C in International Falls, MN and -24.3 C here in Delta, ON.

Ruth , as I have noted before, I was born in Northern Minnesota. Please note I now live in California.Make of that what you will. When they give the coldest city in the nation it is always Intrernational Falls.

Bargoo, can you find me a winter rental that will take two small dogs?

What are these negative numbers you folks are referring to in relation to the temperature? Did you run out of + signs?

Well down here in my part of California I was in a t-shirt most of the day at work...sweatshirt came off at 6:15 this morning...

I recently met Paul Bunyan for the first time. What a guy! Is he from Minnesota?

Yes, he and that ox are something. In Canada, we have Big Joe Mufferaw. I hope you get to meet him someday.

I'd like that, Ruth.

. . . 40 to go

Actually, California isn't real - it's just an old yarn we tell to our kid to frighten them.

Come on over, Silverbirch. I'd love a Welsh visit - my husband was a Griffiths. We can meet Stompin' Tom and he'll sing you the Joe M. song.

Thanks, Ruth. I'll start saving up.

Let me know which airport - Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto. I won't make up the spare room until I hear.

I am saving my money to buy property in Nevada so when the "Big One" hits I will have ocean front property.
