Yeah, even if you get some serious snow tires, and know how to drive in bad conditions.......you are never safe from all the boombas that don't buy snow tires and decide to drive anyways.

Get some good boots with good tread.

kenny, good news - you'll be living in the flattest part of Canada. Yes, even flatter than the praries. No downhill sliding here!

^_^ That's true, I hadn't thought of that. Those videos look very Vancouverish.
I think the first one was in Seattle, which gets the same silly weather we do.

Nah, that first one was in my lovely area - Portland, Oregon! I still have never heard what the first one was doing. Maybe they had on the cruise control.

You get conditions like that in Massachusetts too, especially along Routes 1 and 3. The flat topography of Wisconsin makes winter driving MUCH easier.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

Kenny, somewhere along the line I missed the news that you are moving to Canada! I do know this has to do with pianos but that's about it. Where are you going to be? How long are you going to be there? Will your facial treatment be done before you move? Is Jose staying in CA? What about Kizzy and Yaya? Are you going to be renting an apartment? When are you going to write your first book? Are you going to have any piano parties while you are there? Are you bringing a car with you?

Sorry B.
I should have written to you.

I was in Canada last week being interviewed and tested to get into this:

http://www.pianotech.uwo.ca/media.htm

I have been accepted.
It is 9-months total.
My skin cancer treatment is over and it was not that bad.

Now I am deciding on housing and whether to drive up and have a car, and lots of home stuff, or fly and use busses and live sparsely.

I may be in an apartment or private dorm room on campus or rent a room in a house that's VERY close to UWO.
I may not bring a car and just eat in the cafeteria.

VERY exciting future!
Jose and the girls are staying here. :(

Wow. Double CONGRATS!

So I just looked it up, you're going to be in London! Cool! ;)

I'm glad to hear the cancer treatment wasn't as bad, because the pictures you linked to before really looked very uncomfortable and painful.
