I love it! But guess what Jackie? They say it might snow soon.
Unbelievable!
Living under the jet stream makes for interesting weather.

Seriously, snow? I believe it. Lived here all my life and I know how
capricious our weather can be. If we do get a few flakes, it won't last
long, but the robins will probably look up and wonder, "crap, did I come
back too soon?"

Most of my family lives in southern AZ now, and it's hot there 9 months out
of the year, I mean seriously hot. I have easily resisted their siren call
to go live there. You can always put more clothes on to stay warm, but only
so many you can take off to stay cool (well, in public, anyway).

The only thing I really hate about winter is trying to get anywhere if there
is a snowstorm during rush hour(s) which, around the Twin Cities, means
"most of the day, except for maybe 12 noon to 2:00 pm weekdays and early
morning on the weekends". I actually like winter most of the time.
Stargazing and DXing are better in the winter by far, and I love X-country
skiing and snowshoeing along the St. Croix river valley and along the north
shore of Lake Superior.

LOL you're right, I was talking to this guy today who moved up here from
Georgia and he said he's learned to always keep a jaket in his car hehe...
especially this time of year where it could be freezing in the morning and
scortching hot in the afternoon or vice-versa, but hey at least it's not
boring LOL

I had the heat on in my car full-blast when I was coming home from a
stargazing session last night at midnight; it was like 49 degrees and
chilly. When I got into my car this afternoon at 4:45 pm, I had the air
conditioning going full blast because it was 100 degrees in my car and 88
outside. Only in Minnesota! :-)

Do not buy Canadian, do not tour Canada, do not cross Canada to save a
few hours travel time.

BOYCOTT CANADA!


Please DO boycott! I'll do what I can to help you stop all traffic
across the border. We've been getting raped economically for years. This
is a good a time as any to put a stop to it.

Hell..Michael Eisner has even screwed Disney so bad that it's not worth
the trip, so that finishes off the tourism too.

We'll have to cut loose the 'Snow Birds' in Arizona and Florida, but
that's a small price to pay to maintain our social integrity.

As an aid to you in getting th eborder closed, you should be made aware
that ALL goods we've been shipping down there have been heavily
SUBSIDISED. We do that to harm all *your* businesses who would never
stoop so low as to ask for government money.

All minerals, oil, gas, trees, beef, agricultural products, vehicles,
software, aeronautical equipment, communications products...EVERYTHING
has been subsidised! Please put a freeze on all products NOW!


It's so bad that even our WATER is subsidised..so cross that off the
list too.

Let me know if I can do more research for you. I'll be GLAD to help you
close the border.

Yep that's what they said but I kind of doubt it? I'm from N Calif and I
like it here. You learn to live with the cold just like the heat. My family
originated here so I knew what it was like. I've had friends from Cali come
in winter and can't believe how cold it gets. I feel sorry for the guys that
pound nails in the winter around here. I will say this for MN. It is a very
beautiful part of the country and clean. I like it when everything is green
and all the grass is mowed everywhere with all the little farms popping up
out of the landscape. Its neat!

See the dangers of not providing Steve Lare with a less grandiose daily target
than our neighboring ally!

Thank God you're not in control and even YOUR choice for a leader isn't as
silly as you are. Someone stupider than Bush....

Congratulations! You have a future in the new GOP!

And the long complicated series of related usually negative events

Have you ever traveled anywhere, beyond your own back yard ? You could do a
helluva lot worse than having Canada as your neighbor !

So you don't want to buy our oil or natural gas :-(( !!
