- a lot of us, stay inside,
burn logs, drink wine, and, stay inside
unless, we are dressed to go outside,
and, have fun in the snow

here today, it was almost like spring

march 15 -- is the start of spring - since the groundhog saw its shadow

canada is, one of the best countries in the world

fresh water/and, lots of it - more than anywhere else, on the planet

(i once went out to vancouver for 6 weeks-and, decided NOT to stay there, a friend had been there, for 1 year, and, they hated all the rain, they said, it made their bones ache) although, it is pretty

maybe further north, around atlin lake, about 1 hour from yellowhorse,
would be nice

one of my friends, went to that new province to work,
she got 3 times, her normal wages, and, a $2500/mo living expense

very few poisonous animals - rattlesnakes -
and, artic viper snakes but, they hide from people
and, probably come out of their dens to mate/and, eat once a year

the cold kills germs / so, that is good

AS, I SAID, 9 months a year, are pretty darn good

something nice about 75 degrees / low humidity

and, you can stay in, and, put fire logs into the fireplace

i kind of love it here, however, this is where i grew up

I forgot about possible earthquakes near Vancouver area, and Chitty, I might as well live in North Dakota, which isn't going to happen! LOL! And I'm sorry but 75 in the summer is not enough, I'd still have to wear a jacket. I guess I'll have to stay south, and have considered Mexico but with all the drug shootings and stuff going on, that's out!
Wow I grew up in northern Minnesota but just spent to many years in Florida which really spoiled me more than I realize I guess. hmmm

-35c right now, but it was a sparkling bright win ter day.
the CBC announced today the profits for 2 of the top canadain banks. profits are down, but still in the billions. we do seem to be riding safer so far.

[THE eXchanger]

- there are no lineups of people pulling their money out of the banks

the federal reserve board/don't own the canadian banks

the banks say the gov't own them ?

hmmm-- something to perhaps explore

and, if the people are the gov't

i guess we all must own
the canada corporation
that is registered in district of columbia

maybe secretly we are all rich
