anyway, back to the thread.
Just for the record... snow days are complete linked to risk: keeping everyone off the roads until they are safe to travel (at least here they are).
Winterpeg. Eesh. Was there coaching a few years back. Sorry, Hugh. It never left a great impression with me. It was cold. And flat. I wanted out of there.
Easy TB. Winterpeg isn't a tourist hotspot but damn can they handle the cold. Not as well as people from Saskatchewan though.
Proud to say I was born in Saskatchewan (Saskatoon)!
Folks moved west before I knew my ass from a hole in the ground. Going back to visit relatives was always fun. Xmas was cold. Summer was nice.
gollee, yuk, yuk, know wander we aint gets alung borne and razed in regina I would take a Saskatchewan winter over any coastal winter fullstop.
I don't remember the last time I heard the distinct crunch of walking on frozen snow while at the same time dealing with nostrils frozen shut.
Remember when you could dial a local number and not have to use the area code? Or! Remember when you could look at someone's phone number and know the section of town that they lived in? Not so much anymore.
I remember when we had to start dialing 10 digits. It happened when Metro Vancouver got a second area code sometime around 2000 or 2001. Everyone went nuts, lol. It was horrifying to those of us who got stuck with 778 instead of 604. I was legit upset over it (within reason) - It took me months to get used to that when I got my first cell phone, and people made fun of me for it.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

MAN: You're probably one of those women who doesn't like to give out her number.
ELAINE: No, I'm not. Here you go.
MAN: 646?
ELAINE: It's a new area code.
MAN: What area? New Jersey?
ELAINE: No, no. It's right here in the city. It's the same as 212. They just multiplied it by 3, and then they added one to the middle number. It's the same.
Lol, I love that episode! Do people in NYC really have to dial a 1 before the number if they get a new area code though??? That makes it long distance!

Downhill is funnier for sure, but cross country gets you out of the house and tooling through the forest instead of staring out the front windows of your house.
Once you kind of get it... it's easier. It doesn't take long, but there's a bit of a learning curve that might serve as a deterrent to future attempts.
Nice, Thirty. That made me smile when I needed to.

Cheers to you, Hedo!
You've been kind of quiet lately. This hasn't been lost on me. Hope things are well.
Thank you for noticing, my good sir. Though I have poked my head / mind / ears and eyes on the politico front, I'm SO tired of it all right now and my energy is better spent...well, better spent . I love the passion but not willing to give much to the splitting (and spitting!) of people. Not all people, thank goodness.
There IS still much goodness here, there, and everywhere. I count you among them!

yeah, I know about the safety and all that. I wasn't talking about snow days, really. just about dealing with the cold and how people my age seem to think they were all fucking popeye when they were kids. they complained about it just as much as kids do now.
if I wasn't born here, i wouldn't come here either. the local music scene in the 90's was amazing, but beyond that, I have no particular love for the city. I am very attached to family and familiarity. if I wasn't, I would have moved to vancouver 20 years ago. most people from the west coast have that same impression about winnipeg. our skyline is about 6 buildings. you can see it from 10 miles away it's so flat. and fuck, it is COLD as FUCK. and the mosquitos in the summer can be DEADLY if we have a really wet spring.

Maryland used to only have 301. Now we have 240, 301, 410, 443, & 667. 240 & 301 cover the western half of the state, with 240 being primarily used for cell phones & 301 for land. 410, 443, & 667 all cover the eastern half, with 443/667 primarily being cell & 410 for land.
We are also getting area code 227 in the western half within the next couple years, once 240 & 301 are exhausted.
With ever-increasing population and the expansion of cell phone use, I'm sure sometime in our lifetime we will see the addition of another code requiring 12 or 13 digit dialing within the US.

Cross country beats downhill by a mile. The peace and quiet as you glide past the scenery. No lift lines. No lift tickets. No crowds. No noise. Great workout. And you rarely break something.

I was just sitting here thinking about the old record store I used to buy albums from.
Melody Way.
$4.99- $6.99.
Double lps were $9.99 (Kiss Alive, Saturday Night Fever).
I remember when I had 100s of records. A flood damaged them all. Plus... my friends and I welcomed compact discs. I never thought I'd be going back to them.
