The local paper managed to lead with this shot of some child being scarred for life.

Unfortunately NO TIME.
As has been commented on by the media all over Ontario its "freeking cold."
Thursday night was my coldest night on the planet, easily beating last years measly-13 C in which I rode my bicycle to work through the snow.
This year it was -17 C in my bit of southern Ontario, some friends and I went jogging around 8 pm , the fool wearing the balaclava having ice form on his upper lip with each breath.
Not owning a car still making me feel smug in this weather.
Did a plus 42.5C once in Perth Western Australia and 106F in Death Valley California, as expected the hottest I have ever felt was in Vietnam at plus 30 C and about 200% humidity ( indoors it was about the same watching Apocalypse Now Redux at the Hyde Park Cinema in Leeds).
Watched Babel last night at the cinema, twas a good reminder of the range of experience available on planet earth. I was transported back to trips we have made as "rich Western tourists" to Morocco, Egypt, Vietnam, China, and India. I saw that "world as a village" thing this week(it`s all over the net in various forms) this is one . It reminded me of how fortunate I am to own a computer. I haven`t time to look up the millions of spin offs , but I bet there are some fantastic ones out there , ?% of the world has never had a hangover/is allergic to spam or saki or their workplace.......................................
