im very selfish of our good weather here but as its below zero right now im offering it up to anyone that has a freezer thats failed recently ,
my truck started hard this morning - had a houseful of children and lots of grandkids , had to go to the store for things my wife forgot to put on my list a day or two ago , we did get about an inch over night and i need to bundle up and move it tomorrow , i did nothing today as it never quit falling - might be able to blow it off with the leaf blower again as it was bitter cold and what fell is very light we shall see in the morning , |

Hey Canuck, since this is the OT Forum, do you mind if I ask how the vote is going for Alberta independence? My online feed algorithm keeps showing me reports of long lines of Albertans braving the cold to get out and vote. Would you mind sharing your gut feeling on what the general consensus is? As a former B.C.er I worked towards Western independence for some time back in the Eighties as we explored one or all of the western provinces seceding from the unholy Ontario-Quebec junta.

The Alberta Independence movement has a full head of steam going forward. Yes, lots of lineups with people standing in freezing windy conditions waiting to vote. Some lineups 3-4 hours long. Many people I speak to in my neighborhood are for independence from Ottawa. We are fed up with the Liberals ruining our country . My gut feeling is independence will come, but it will take a couple years for all the dust to settle. I am all for an independent republic of Alberta that is within the country of Canada, much like several European nations similarily are. I would also accept becoming an American State. We don't know the number of votes being tabulated yet, the vote is extending into almost spring but the general consencus is seperation will happen eventually.

Whether as an independent Republic or 51st state, we welcome Alberta as a trading partner.

Freezing rain expected for north GA, including Atlanta area, on Saturday and Sunday. Overnight lows dropping to 16 deg F on Monday night and getting colder next week. Won't be going to the range anytime soon.
