ziparumpazooI would just like to say that Here is probably one of the few places on earth where one might find themselves shooing a raccoon off the road with one's hockey stick at 11:00pm, where said raccoon was licking god-knows-what off the yellow line and was quite oblivious to the fact that it nearly ended up becoming *part* of that line it was so fond of. In the middle of a snow squall. In October.
Ironically, two weeks ago, we were setting records with 28C temps. This morning I hauled out the tuques (that's 'beanies' to the rest of you non-northpeople) and gloves. My fears that the unseasonal shorts-weather was the harbinger of the apocalypse have been assuaged. For now.
Took advantage of the weather and finally, finally tracked down the so-called pebble in my car speaker and discovered it was actually cross-talk on the speaker wires *before* I took half the car apart, so that was lucky. And also changed the spark plugs, even though I was told "Naw, Zip, you got at least another twenty thousand kilometers left on them." "I don't know, Chuck, it's running kind of rough. Sell me some just to have as spares?" For the record, spark plugs with 20K left should *not* look like they were run through an incinerator. My little car has balls again, she does.

What's new with y'all?
