Nah, Canadian is okay to pass on getting drunk on SAKE -- but to never
have gotten bombed on beer and/or rye would make one's citizenship
suspect!

Yeah, we prolly won't even see more than a half centimetre of snow all
season! (that's still 5mm too many for my liking! (& for the drivers'
abilities!) :P

Yeah, the SUV drivers have this big impression that they're
automatically safe! :P

I wsa in Calgary once in winter, and got caught in a blizzard downtown
somewhere (while dressed for BC Autumn) :P

I luckily finally hitched a ride outta there! (quite cold by then,
though!)
