All seasons are almost useless in winter. Next, we'll be hearing about modern televisions from a guy still using analog.

If you break-down all costs involved (hotel, eating out, gas) you are unlikely to come out ahead. That doesn't mean you can't go and have some fun and get some things that aren't readily available here.

A couple of other factors to be considered for central/southern ON: Temperatures that bounce around that critical zero degrees Celsius leave roads much more treacherous than when its almost never near zero degrees, and change from minute to minute or Km by Km. Lake affect snow with high winds. Higher moisture in the air that leads to more volatile and unpredictable weather. The incredibly high number of people that live over an hour from the place they work. The last point is based on our own choices, but is still a reality. Believe me, many of us would love to live closer to where we work, but the jobs are in one place, and where we want to/ can afford to live is in another. This a diverse land, understand it, embrace it.

Right! Note to self: Do not forget passport.

My buddy in Tilsonburg/London has a ticket package. I'm going down for the boxing day games Canada v Russia and then US v Finland ("Do you believe in miracles?") I haven't been to the "new" rink in Buffalo, but the old barn was a lot of fun. Christmas, hockey and some icefishing (weather depending), This is a great time of year.

Nice colours, and not just the fish.

Most of us know, and understand.

Merry Christmas.

First they postponed Sundays game to Monday night: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/giants-vikings-game-postponed-by-storm/article1834440/ ...and then the metrodome's roof collapses http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/minneapolis-metrodome-collapses-during-blizzard/article1834621/ http://www.startribune.com/ And it is on its way to southern Ontario and the like.

In the snow no less. There may be another shoe to drop.

15 years later raycroft used them.

It is a good thing they don't. Watch batteries are $10 and the price would go UP from there, not down from car battery price. The consumer always gets it in the end.

Game warn equipment - mint condition. Hardly touched by a puck.

No, no, no Roy. It needs to be truly worthy of lfw. I say we get him an André (Roxanne you don't have to put on the red light) Racicot jersey... complete with holes of course.

But only for six months. Always some looking for the negative.

Winter starts in 12 days.

I also have a car... not a horse, and I just up graded to a house from a cave that my ancestors had lived in for generations.

First ones always free.

One more reason why I can't believe people pay money for radio. Two incredible facts: After convincing people to pay for water when it is already in your house for pennies a bath tub. You can then get them to pay to listen to the radio. :rofl2: :rofl2: P.T. Barnum knew what he was talkin' 'bout.

We? Is that like when my wife says: "we should paint the house"... "we should fix-up the basement" Sometimes in this house there is a lot of I in we. I only ask, since I've not seen photos of Wayne standing on fence boards clearing new ice that is bare inches thick.

Would snowshoes work? I would think they would be more manoeuvrable. Either way it's not something I'm looking to do. ie I don't see myself owning an island in the near future.

Good thing you don't look like a vole... You don't, do you?

But my belly will be full.
