**** CANADA

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

BOYCOTT CANADA!

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 :-(( !!

No we are thinking of invading Canada and taking it instead.

It hit 92 on the back porch here in Burnsville yesterday.
Today, at 10:36 a.m., it's......(looking).....50 degrees,
exactly. Hey, welcome to Minnesota - if you don't like
the weather, wait 18 hours.

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.

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!

MN rules! I have a cabin in NW Wisconsin and its equally as nice up there. I
couldnt see living anywhere else. Now if they can just do something about
all the liberals here. :-)

I often wish I could work third shift, or at home. Hey, I have an idea:
Maybe
I'll set up shop at home - I could do Title Exams from home, certainly.

Anyway....

I remember December 9th - the day MNDOT didn't plow. I live at 35W next
to the Burnsville Center, and was driving all the way to 494 at Bass Lake
Road
in Maple Grove. It took me 3 hours to get TO work, and 3 hours to get home.
What a day!

Let's not forget the *superb* fishing. On Friday, I'm off for 3 days of
fishing
on Lake Pepin. The walleyes have spawned (hopefully), and will be moving
in to the shallows. If luck is on my side, we'll have some tasty fillets in
the
deep freeze (minus a couple kept fresh for lunch on Sunday).

Ya sure, you betcha......

Ummm, you can keep the beef. Please. And, now that Tim Horton's is
American - owned, you can have that, as well. Let's see, that only leaves
Blatter & Blatter, and the Thomas Hinds shop in Winnipeg, but I guess I
could live without those as well.

Correction: Unless you're on the Mississippi
(i.e., Lake Pepin). Season's already open there.

Aren't I one of the sneakiest sunzabitches you've
ever seen? (Big, Evil Grin)

Oh, yeah, I'm taking the old FRG-7 along, with 100
feet of wire, and a big bunch of "D" sized batteries.
Just think: Two of my favorite pastimes, and I get
to combine them all at once!

How long do you get on a set of batteries? I've never tried them in that
radio. I've been thinking of getting a 12v gel-cell like used in
emergency lighting for powering the set. They don't spill like regular
lead acid batteries.
