Or, perhaps, another argument for NOT living in Edmonton.
Just kidding. I'm sure it's a lovely place. Having spent a few winters in Russia and Ukraine, I can vouch for the fact that you get used to the cold and adapt to the climate and all that goes along with it, like salt!

My commute in this morning was unique for me. It was the frist time I can remember that I commuted in so early that I needed to use my headlight/flashlight and not just my little blinkie. Left before the butt crack of dawn to come to work early to finish up work on a big publication project w/ a deadline today (just finished it), that after working on it late into the night at home. I'm tired today. I'll appreciate the predicted tail(ish)wind heading home this afternoon. Since I got in so early and finished already, I may be able to leave before the sun goes down!
