At least you don't get consistent -20C in the winter Terry. Those are fun.

True my friend - but we do get cold, and very wet winters, with the wind from Siberia, which is worse than 'dry' cold, as it really penetrates, and once it's below about -6 it's the same as minus lots! Oh, and for the past five years or so, Autumn has lasted 8 months every year!
I gotta find a better climate!

Don't come to Minnesota then. 100 below F in the winter, and 100 above in the summer. Sometimes only one day separates winter from summer too
Think I will stick with the 100 plus don't like the sound of that 100 minus stuff....
My son graduated pre-school today and was awarded "Most likely to be president of the History Channel" because of his love of PLANES, dinos, sharks, whales and his desire to share that love with his class mates! I almost cried I was so proud.
Nice peaceful day....home alone most of the day....

As of June 25, I will no longer be a coal miner driving a haul truck. I will become........a copper/gold miner driving a haul truck. It's a camp job, 4on/4off, and a major cut in pay but the money saved in additional rent, food, and travel expenses will almost offset the loss. Also, no more extreme winter driving through the Rockies or following endless lines of motor-homes, campers and travel trailers in the summer. Way too many psychotic drivers going nowhere too fast and passing where you are not allowed to pass. (Had a couple of near misses this past winter and I feel I'm on borrowed time). The camp has a fitness room(after the physical I came to realize that I was a tad out of shape), game room and every room has a 32" flat screen T.V. with satellite and internet. No cell service for a couple of months so I'll have to Skype SWMBO. There is the option of coming home every night but the bus ride is 90 minutes each way. Sorry for the long post but I'm a wee bit excited about what I hope is my last career change before retiring.

That's good news Geo, congrats on the new job - don't go overdoing it in that fitness room though, you don't want to be too healthy!

Picked up some true bargains at a Copenhagen flea market yesterday:
Got a Sailor 1911 fountain pen, a Penol, a Liberty 217 and an unknown brand fountain pen plus a dip pen for 100 DKK.
Damn, I've seen that Sailor on sale online for 238 USD!
Plus got a Jumbo (old danish brand) fountain pen for 50 DKK, that was definitely okay.
So this was a welcome (- and cheap!) boost for my fountain pen/dip pen collection.

An airshow and new kits!!!!!!!!!!
My 5 year old son waking up at 2:30 am this morning to tell me this joke:
"Why did the T-Rex eat the Velociraptor?"
"Why?"
"Because he was hungry."
And then promptly went back to bed....

BBC Sport - England 1-0 Ukraine - OK it was a goal but he was offside in the build up and I guess its karma from 2010
And I suppose: THIS!!
