Sorry Rob,

Not many places to ski-doo in Toronto/Scarborough. Left Edmonton 2 years
ago and returned to my home. We get a lot of snow but it's very wet and
slushy most of the time. Then of course we are the Canadian capital for
FREEZING RAIN STORMS. It makes for great aerobic exercise trying to scrape
that crap off at 3:00 in the morning!!!! Here's a scary one from last year
--- Stopped at a red light during a massive Freezing Rain storm. Big wind
came up and blew my Dakota sideways right into the curb. Decided to turn
back and go home. Hell with work that night!!! Which reminds me - off to
work I go now.

Talk to you all later.
