Hey there Fellow Countryman,

Do you remember that Monty Python skit with two old codgers competing with each other to compare the difficulties they went through in the old days?

It was duelling, " Ohhh ... you think you 'ad it ruf! Well, when I was a lad ..."

Well, here in Winnipeg (the same latitude as Penticton) it's going to be -26 tomorrow morning!!

Hope springs eternal, though ... I ordered two new lines yesterday.
