We have this reputation of having *hard* winters and I NEVER try to disabuse anyone of that VERY mistaken notion! It might help keep out a few errant Texas dcikheads and California wannabe mountain people, who're the main reason Colorado is slowly dying an urban death.! The cold we get is 'nuffin' compared to sweltering, obsessive, and downright terrible heat and humidity! Gimme 300 days+ of bright sunshine and 'winter' any day! chuck: GLAD yer eye is OK: NEVER, ever, as in NEVER, heat concrete! I'm sure you need not this lesson again from some wanker with a poiple XKE but... I rather like you and wanna see you whole, next time we meet!

I love the look of the snow-covered trees... I just hate what happens when their branches fall on power lines! Pooser, this sort of thing happens once every few years... in fact the last big snowfall we had was in 1995. Earthquakes, on a large scale happen maybe once every 30 years, and volcanic eruptions a few times every millennia. I'll <b>gladly</b> trade this for sweltering in the Texas heat - that stays above 90°F for months on end... EVERY year. Besides, I've lived in Texas and seen everything from extreme heat, extreme humidity, extreme winds, tornadoes, dust storms, rainfall measured in FEET per hour, ice storms, snowfall, electrical storms, and even once in west Texas, frogs falling from the fscking sky! What we have here in the Pacific Northwest is tiddlywinks in comparison! Simon, in spring it will still be great E-type driving country again! ;) --chuck It is very pretty Jerome.

Living in boring, down town Frankfurt (Germany) I did envy your surroundings (ideal E-Type driving country) but no more. I have never experianced anything similar to what you describe & never want to! Keep up the blog. Simon Chuck,
