You're kidding right? It was 30 degrees in Tillsonburg Mon-Wed. Only 26 yesterday and today but still very pleasant. Is this what you guys call cooler? My friends back in BC are scraping their windshields already ...

Why would I cut you wood? I don't do tree work anymore. I am now a lawn care guy.

It's about time!!!!!!!!!

Tonight will not require the a/c to cool the house off enough to sleep. Most days it has been 25 or better in the basement even after 10 pm. That's just too warm for me.
I guess being born in December on the prairies has alot to do with why I like it cool & don't like temps above 70. I find it easy to work outside at -5 to -15C. At -20 or more I might even do my coat up and wear a hat.
Matt can keep the snow because he obviously likes the stuff. I just like it dry & sub-zero.

Yeah, Ontario outside of Toronto is beautiful. I pointed my son towards Ottawa three years ago and I've never been gladder. Now I just have to get my wife and I out alive and everything will be great. It's a shame too, I loved Toronto growing up, I was proud to tell people I came from there. But it's not home anymore.

spin498 i couldnt agree more with you. its not the same anymore. there seems s more gangs in numbers that the police could not keep up..it used to be a great place to visit but now its infested.i was in toronto 3 times with my wfe this year and i had to watch her back even in the nicest areas for shopping. on the other hand my son is 20 years old with a good job and phoned me to say i quit and im moving on. as a parent i worry about him a lot..but i hope he will settle down with a new job with less crap in another city. he was heading to british columbia so

My son is in the audio/video business and worked for a very large company in Toronto, but couldn't get full time work. It was a steady pay cheque that took him to Ottawa, but I worried about him too. Him and his buddies were always going down to the Governent night club where there's been a lot of violence. Ottawa's not perfect but it sure doesn't have the problems Toronto does.

The Government....

And a pantload of others in the "Night Club District" are know to be bad for your health. You could catch dead real easy & have no idea why.
Don't let a small town fool you or you're kids into a false sense of security. My ex-wifes 2 cousins were gunned down, Jeff died & John survived, at a bar in Windsor. You're choice of lifestyle is the only way I know of to avoid the excessive risk that can kill you quick.
