The supergroup of the century
I got spam from the Fox Theatre (that's what we get for going to a concert once, I suppose) with the following subject line: "Coming to the Fox Theatre: Charlie Sheen, Neil Young, and Yanni!" My first thought was, "together???" Apparently not, though.
I am also really, really sick of people around here - mostly the Americans, I think the Windsor residents know better - complaining about how awful the weather is. I want to shake them and say "Don't you realize how lucky we are here? This place has the nicest weather that I've ever lived in! Snow melts even in the winter - we almost never get huge piles of snow building up, because it doesn't have time to. Spring actually comes before March 21st, not sometime in April! ARRRGH!"
For comparison, here are some pictures of my hometown in winter:
Winter 2011
Winter 2009
I won't even get into Montreal, which often still looks like this at the end of March (2008 in this case):
(that line in the middle? That's the TOP of a bench. I took that picture because it was the first time we'd been able to see it in months, and I knew it meant the snow was finally starting to melt.)
