It's true, those of you who live back east have had a rough winter. I can be difficult, I know. I lived in Western New York State for two winter. At that time I drove a VW fast back (looked a lot like the one Jack Irons pulls up to the studio in on Single Video. I drove that car from Dunkirk NY to Cassadaga in the snow work the night shift every day the second winter I was there. One day I got to work and it was -60 F. That's MINUS 60 degrees. 4 X 4? Nope! And I never had a problem. I guess some of you live in towns that don't plow.

Actually I live I'm Canada ... I work the after noon shift and 1/2' my commute is on a major highway the rest are on secondary road that receive attention last .. Also many communities do their secondary roads after the main arteries are taken care.
I have certain rules I live by ... My First Rule ... I don't believe anything the government tells me ... George Carlin

Yeah, me too. I live on a small county road that gets rarely gets plowed-- only once in the ten years that I can remember- but we only get snowed in on the average about once a year. 4 x 4 makes sense if you live in snow country, otherwise it's just show. I'd say about 90 to 95 % of the 4 x 4's and large pick ups I see here in the Sierra foothills are all about show, not need. My wife has a 4 -Runner by the way-- mostly for her business but it gets us out of a few jams each year. The rest of the time it's smooth sailing with the Pr... Pr... ah shit, you know...

mine is a 4 cal jeep patriot ... so gas milage is decent. It's certainly not powerful enough to pull me out of a ditch but it has made this particular driving less stressful.

Given the pace at which the Harperium is neutralizing democratic rights in this country, wary citizens must now be on guard that the next election is not stolen, one way or the other, by a prime minister apparently committed to dismantling democracy and permanently changing the country.
Standing in Harper’s way are the organizations he is targeting with audits, illegal spying, public demonizing and open threats. Anyone who cares a whit for this country has to commit themselves to preventing this from happening. Should these vital organizations be stripped of their charitable statuses, we, as citizens with a huge stake in the outcome of these battles, must commit to making up any loss of contributions they suffer as a result. And if you are not already giving to them, start now. Our response to Harper’s intimidation tactics being challenged by the BCCLA should be to immediately contribute to the organizations in question.
The fight against Big Oil corporatism may be the most important one you ever support.
