We were watching the news last night and were horrified by the footage of winter blizzards in Ontario and other places east as we languish in virtual springlike weather here in the favoured west where daytime temperatures have been above zero all week. I took advantage of the legubrious weather to install this year's edition of the Hilton's Christmas Light Display and Extravaganza, which, admittedly, looks exactly like last year's Extravaganza with the addition of three new strings of light. It always seems like the special lighting effect designs you dream about in July never reach fruition in the bone chilling cold of Novemeber, you just want to get em' up have have done. They're only lit for a week, for Pete's sake!
And from the "It Had To Happen Sooner Or Later" dept, a great deal of anguish was forthcoming on the discovery of a huge crack in the windshield of the Camry that spread the entire length of the glass. I think it was a result of temperature variances during a cold snap we had as I don't remember any wayward rocks hitting. Fortunately it is down low close to the dash so its not in line of sight. After crying the blues for a few minutes I resigned myself to the fact that stuff happens and that there was not a thing I could do about it.
