Haha... some good ones there :)

I'm two thirds of the way across the country but I've been out to BC enough times to recognize the humour (Canadian spelling, lol)

So true in sooooo many ways! I'm in the Okanagan so the only difference is the amount of rain we get here. Being a semi-arid area I have to travell a short bit before I find any real number of wet weather plants(about a half hour), like tall cedar trees etc, we are surrounded by ponderosa and dust. Around here in the summer forest fires are the major threat not so much rain. When I lived in Vancouver I was amazed to go for a walk and get wet when there was no rain! Just extreme humidity:D.
Gotta love being in BC everything a true outdoorsman could ever want!(in my honest opinion)

Yup, they don't call it "The most Beautiful place on Earth" for nothing!

We are experiencing snow here in Richmond! The city has already sent their salt/sand trucks out to make sure the roads are safe...
Not 9 minutes ago, some dumb punk in a totally lowered wide body Honda Civic rice burner was doing pirouettes in front of our house. perfect10.gif=D>rockon.gifrollinglaugh.gif
Asked him if he was alright and his reply was anything but English!
Did all the usuall police statement, etc. and went back inside!

I think there was all but .5 of a cm out there at the time.
