Blah. You just ruined any chance of someone playing a joke. Psh. One's good enough for me though. Before nine, too!

April is a strange month here in Ohio... you never know what the weather will bring... but spring seems to be right around the corner! Woohoo!

April freaking sucks in Quebec... it's the rainy season, so to top off a barely sunny winter, it's not the most pleasant month... grr

Ludwig, that does suck! We just saw on the news the other day recounts of The Great Icestorm down there. They said something like 120,000km of powerlines where knocked down from ice, all sorts of amazing numbers and amazing pictures. It looked like a flash flood out of the sky that froze as soon as it hit the ground. Did that storm affect you at all? My Quebec geography is not that great

it was scary! I was out of all the action (Sept-Iles is more to the east of the province, while the storm mostly hit hard in the south-central area), so we had power and everything, but that meant seeing all the disaster on TV... it was bad. I think the whole ordeal started a week after New Year's, lasted at least 3 weeks (if not more), and the power still hadn't been re-established in some places in the "Triangle Noir" (Triangle of Darkness). Go here: archives.cbc.ca/300c.asp?IDCat=70&IDDos=258&IDLan=1&IDMenu=70, it's a great site with videos and stuff. |
