Okay, chanting it is. Lau's already heard me sing, anyway.

I'll help you up if someone helps me up first!

No fair, O blessed maternal One, I wanna hear you sing!

So here I am, down on my damn ruined knees, and not a cane in sight, anatomically correct or otherwise. So, now what the *^%*^%^ am I supposed to do?

Oh! Oh yeah...(Duncan bows deeply, yowls at his aching back and cries...) "medic...!"

Haha! It was a rousing rendition of "Good King Wenceslas". You aren't missing much.

(Fair warning......... nannarob's going to get you for that language. She used to be a teacher you know.)

As long as she doesn't use a ruler. My knuckles are still sore from levering myself up from the bowing.

Never did get that )(*&^(&^*(&%*^$&%$# medic. Oops! (Duncan looks wild-eyed) What was that noise? Was that...footsteps? Gulp! nannarob...?

White robes, well I have a little knowledge of such things. Since I need to make my great escapes from time to time, I find wrapping white sheets around myself to be very beneficial. First I blend into the snow and they can't catch me as fast. Second added warmth. Thirdly, if you wear some obscure and it doesn't have to be very obscure math symbol in metal around ones neck, you get asked for blessings all the time. Tithes are a kind of nice thing, keeps you in beer money. They are a little stupified with my blessings, but I tell them the lord moves in mysterious ways. One must be very careful about what parts of the area you wonder with white sheets on, you are either greeted very warmly or chased. But again, with snow cover it's ok. They're also wonderful for making ropes for climbing out of windows. Bless you my sons and sonettes. (Sonettes, not to be confused with poems, that's another blessing altogether, it also has an extra n and one less t and I don't know why.)

May the otters great you warmly and always carry pebbles and not rock and offer you muffins and fish for your journeys.

Please send your tithes to postie, in care of...... err, I forgot the name of this place, it's the one with the high walls and electric wire across the top. Let us sing... page 42 in your good books..... let the chorus reverbate on the padded walls, kill me with electric guitar feed back and three part harmony... Weee've Got To Get Out of This Plaaace, oh yeah...

I tried something similar down here, but we have no snow. In the desert everything's brown, and they thought I was just trying to be Obi Wan Kenobi

We are skipping global warming in the Great White North today. Schools are all closed due to the -46C (with the wind chill factor) we're expecting for a HIGH. That would be -51F for all my warm American friends.

damn!

Nannarob wouldn't have been pleased if she'd heard the words that flew out my mouth when I opened the back door this morning. Damn wasn't one of them.

Time to blow soap bubbles, see if they freeze. And if you're below -40C without windchill, then supposedly when you take a saucepan full of water and toss it in the air, you can expect to hear a ripping sound. The drops freeze from the outside in, so when the inside freezes and expands, it tears apart the outside. I suppose you'd want fairly cold water to start with.

I haven't had weather cold enough to try, so no guarantees. This is all hearsay.

Thank you!! I'd forgotten about the bubbles. Lil girl will be thrilled! They were showing on the news this morning that a pot of water will indeed freeze when thrown in the air. We'll try that, too.

Yeah, it's cold in Canada this year - here's a look at the surf in Newfoundland, apparently last week...

I have two words for you...designer sheets.

-----> for the frozen surf

Gives a whole new meaning to the term..surfs up...doesn't it. Must be there are no surfers there. Those guys are nuts, they'll surf in anything.

yeah, they will. if they see this video, they'll be on their way.
