    Default Now Snowing in Boltonistan

    It is now snowing here in Boltonistan after a very heavy frost last night.
    `****`, my next door neighbour, was clearing his car windscreen, He says we are now looking more like Kabul now. So he feels more at home.
    I said `you wont get a new Mercedes in Kabul, unless it is packed with Dynamite.`
    He wont talk to me now.

    Hi Keith,
    You should move from Winterpeg to beautiful BC.
    Sunny days with snow on the mountains.

    Hi Dennis, there are times when i feel that it would be nice out your way, but it is too much like England "too much rain" I used to suffer a lot with bronchitis in the UK. but since out here with the dry air (cannot make a snowball with the snow we get, it is too dry) i have not suffered at all, do miss the seaside though. and now age is starting to affect the body I feel it is too late to move, same reason for not spending too long away from home.
