Around -40 C today but I was running around and decided to get some
Winter
pix. ENJOY!

Just by way of balance from the other side of the planet, this is my
backyard - taken about 5 minutes ago. The forecast for today is
43C,
already (11:20 am) it's 41. That's about 108 for anybody still using
the old money.

Cheers

Oh shut up! (In case you didn't get that, I was kidding). It was so cold
my lens froze and the battery in the camera gave out after only a few
minutes. January and February here are pretty miserable. I tried using the
camera with my gloves on but couldn't manage so I took them off. The
windchill was just too strong and I had to scoot back into my car to thaw my
hands.

Feel free to send some of that warmth up here and if you run into Clark
(Swamp creator / guru) say hi for me! I absolutely love his comic and have
recommended it to our newspaper here. I think it would be fantastic if they
started carrying it. I ordered a ton of stuff from the website and all the
books as well.

Are you watching the tennis? I'm a tennis nut and former player. I almost
turned pro at one point. I couldn't believe the oncourt temperature was
almost 60 C the other day!!! How the heck do you play in that???? The
hottest match I ever played it hit somewhere around 45 C which was brain
melting and draining. The other guy cramped first and I won .... and then
collapsed in the shower.

Take care,

Nick (still defrosting).
