9.... -5kph! hahahahaa!

Yeah, the hype pisses me off. Been complaining about it for years. It's all about selling time slots for advertising in real time 0based on how many viewers they can sell higher cost slots to. Currently scaring Mum with predicting TWICE as much snow as Environment Canada is predicting.

9.... takin that nickel back! That takes me back! I lived near the "chicken factory" on Robinson Street for a few months when I was
9 years old. When a truckload of chickens were delivered in cages, many would escape and there would be eggs to be had... we first filled out pockets with eggs and then went after the chickens that would head for a patch of alders. I was proud of myself for being able to carry eggs in my pockets and chase chickens thru the alders with getting any of the eggs broken in my pockets. First time I sold a chicken (2 actually, for 25p each), I proudly presented the 50p to me mere and was told to take it back and apologize. After that, I went after the chickens, not the eggs, and brought them straight to me mere. She was cool with that. >:-)
