>>If you go to Edmonton in the winter, do bring a shovel. You may need it. Sometimes snow shoes are the rage.
Alternatively you can head Down Under where they will be wearing shorts and flip-flops at the BBQ on Christmas Day. ;-)
How are you, Tom?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
