Vancouver Gloating - My flowers are coming up!

[Lydia]

My flowers are growing in my garden, too! All I gotta do is dig down under a few inches of snow, and then a couple of inches of frozen ground, and voila! You can see them growing

[mark]

hope you're happy gloating, won't help my day. Guess I'll just consol myself thinking at least Edm didn't get the Olympics and have another debt

Up here in the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range there is 1 1/2 - 2 feet of snow. The ice roads are still holding up. It's only been -10 or so for the last couple days, but last week was -25. No signs of spring here!!!

I for one despise Vancouver. I have visited many many times, and lived there for awhile a couple years ago. I think it's a cheap, ugly, drug infested, cement, wannabe high-class disco city. I think the perfect theme movies to go along with Vancouver would be Trainspotting and Studio 54. Sure it has it's perks, but it's seriously the most off-putting city I've ever been to. Calgary is better, and that is not saying much at all!

You've obviously never been to Toronto.

Whoa Whoa. Whoa! I may not like the grey winters but I lived in a few Canadian cities and Vancouver is the best. I have lived in:

Montreal - Lots of snow and culture.
Toronto - Boring concrete.
Halifax - Friendly and fun.
Calgary - Fine as a kid, would not want to live there as an adult. Too conservative for my tastes.
Vancouver - Excellent outdoors possibilities. Nice climate other than the grey winters.

It's not about where you live, but how you live it and frankly we all sit and stare into
a large and for some even larger fish bowls. So what do we know. And how many of us
actually name them, huh!
