Its gray and cold and yucky. Low 40's I dont want to go outside to feed but theyre all hungry. North Florida can go down into the teen's some nights. I lose my flower garden every year. But spring comes in February.

yeah, i think Spring comes early for us to in away, since it doesn't snow here and get that cold. But you guys get cold, below 20 eh?
yeah the frost kills the flowers/plants. Maybe a greenhouse will keep them alive and thriving?

Partially cloudy, cold.

[beanie_xz]

freezing and snowing

That would be hard as they surround the pool area, house, barn etc. but I like the yard in winter too. It gets cut back and you can see through.
I like the way things look in all the seasons.
Just Mother Nature doing her thing.

... the only part of Canada that i have been to, is Vancouver, and it is cold there too, probably as cold as the part of canada you are from. you live near Toronto?

Vancouver is hotter in winter, because the mountains create a special environment. The temperature is mostly stable all year long between 30F in winter to 70F in summer. I think it looks a bit like California with cities near the ocean, huge mountains to the east, giant trees and valleys full of fruits and winery. I�fve been there before, but as a foetus, so I don�ft remember it much.

Where I am, it�fs colder in winter. It can easily go as low as -20F to -45F in winter, but it�fs warmer in summertime, something between 77F to 95F. I think the worst part about winter here is the darkness; it�fs pitch dark at 4:30PM. Some people don�ft see the daylight at all during weekdays.

I don�ft really have a steady home right now. I�fm pretty much commuting between Montreal, Toronto and my parents�f place between the two; although I haven�ft been in Toronto for a while. The company I�fm working for have a condo in Montreal, so we spend time there or stay in hotels. We only go home from time to time to do our laundry and for some, to see their family. We�fll probably move to Montreal in January or February, so we won�ft have to sleep on inflatable mattress and eat in restaurants all the time.

It�fs not Tokyo, but it�fs not bad.

Toronto sounds like a nice place to visit, someday. And they got the Toronto Raptors NBA, but not sure how good of a team they are...
Our beaches are probably a bit warmer in the winter than Vancouver and have warmer summers. That is a far commute, between Montreal and Toronto, how many miles is that?

[tabana]

Yeah. California is definitely warmer. Their summer is way too cold for me.

As for the distance between Toronto and Montreal, I think it�fs around 300 miles. It�fs a long ride, but I usually stay there 2 or 3 days when I go there, so it�fs not that bad.
It's the biggest city in the country, but it's smaller than US cities. It's around 5 millions citizens, but I think I read somewhere that 50% of those, were born outside the country. So, it's multicultural and you can get a lot of stuff from all around the world, but so is L.A..

wow 300 miles away! that is super far. almost as far as SF to LA, that is about 400 or so miles one way, about a 6-8 drive, depending on traffic.

dat's nuts...man...that's is one looooong ass commute! i've been to montreal once... i was a chisai bozu.....

[tabana]

I guess I should call this more like a buisiness trip than commuting. It takes around 5 to 6 hours when you're not in the rush hours. In winter it takes a little bit longer. I haven't been there since May or June.

Tu_triky chisai bozu? Am I reading this right: district court Buddhist priest?

bozu is also slang for a small kid...bozu is like squirt or kid and is used teasingly with guys names ...

like "gaki" for small brat, annoying kid.

Cool, thanks for the info.

I think it's "Osake, tobacco wa hatachi ni natte kara" which means "Enjoy alcohol and tobacco after you turn 20" I got this from jlist. Link.
I don't know if they actually have these signs in Japan, but it looked funny.

you guys sure know a lot of nihongo...
i am just starting out learning the characters, the first 25 or so of Hirgana of the 46 characters, then Katakana....i think i have cue cards of them, but i tend to forget the strokes, the grammar is a whole new area that is challenging.

o yeah hatachi is like the way to say 20 years old as opposed to saying ni ju sai....

thanks...i knew my kanji sucked..i understood 1 of 2 characters in that sign...hahaha..

[tabana]

I can't take the credit for it. I only understood the hiragana; it was translated on the web site.

qilver Don't worry, my grammar sucks too and I don't know much vocabulary either. As for hiragana, it gets easier at the end, because they are the same, but you just add a little circle or " (Dakuten and handakuten).
�� = ka, �� = ga or �� = fu, �� = bu, �� = pu.
