It's above freezing and pretty much all gone now.
Wish I hadn't gone out and busted my butt early this morning.

Actually, I have a torn labrum and rotator cuff.
I have been warned not to keep doing these sort of things.
Wait, you have nationalized health care up there, don't you?

I didn't say free. Nothing in life is free.
It's been quite a while.
Sometimes I think I'd be in less pain and better off without the arm.

So there's a 13% VAT, plus local/provincial property taxes?
Fuel tax would probably kill me with my 460.
There's no National or Provincial income tax?

Oh, 13% of your gross income?
I guess I'll just Google the tax scheme up there for a complete explanation.
