Just love the low light abilities of this phone.
Makes even this crap look pretty serene.

We had a white day in Kingsville too, southernmost town in Canada, south of N California and snow on 18th April :dropjaw:

Well, pick your poison I guess. Its been high 80s here already. A little cool the last couple of days; only high 70s but 90s by the weekend- beginning of next week.

The 10 cm/4 in of snow we had the other day did not have much impact on the remaining snow on the ground. So far this winter 9.5 meters/ 31.2 feet of snow has fallen here. This is what is still left after the dump the other day.

We used to build Quinzhee snow shelters on winter schemes with the Naval Reserve. They will keep you warm but not as much room as an igloo.

Its no different than eating a bunch of garlic.

Hey! Are you saying I stink? I eat more garlic than Italy.

Wanna know how much? I put garlic on my pancakes.

Shortly after coming to Canada I visited the States and found this creature laying by the side of road. I thought it might be injured so i went to it, the strangest looking thing. I had never seen one before and didn't have a clue what it was, I actually thought that I might have discoved a new species.

I reached out and touched it but it woudn't move so I thought it was dead.

While I stood wondering what to do with it, it got up and kind of ambled away. Strangest thing, it turned out to called a Possum!

Now you know where the term "playing possum" came from. There are Virginia possums in the lower mainland of BC.
