My Palm Trees....

[Charles W.]

My palm trees are covered in snow. I have five Windmill Palm trees in my front yard looking over Long Lake here in Nanaimo B.C.

For some strange reason its snowing here, what in hell is going on, we seldom get snow that is why I moved here twenty three years ago.

What happened to global warming? Sh.t I had planned on planting some Coconut Palms but I don't think they would like snow so I guess I'll wait for more signs of global warming.

Maybe this is a sign of the end of the world? I wonder if my backsliding from being a Reverend to my old profession of a Clap Doctor has anything to do with this?

Maybe it is a sign that I am being punished?

Anyone out there have the time to comfort me and reassure me that this is not a sign of the end?

I'm sorry, I haven't got the time to comfort you. The end is near didn't you know?

While you worry about your palms getting a bit cold, the rest of us across this great country are worrying about our butts getting cold.

Did you know we're going to a possible -4C for the low tonight? Un-heard of tempuratures for these parts. I'm cranking up the furnace and getting out the longjohns....brrrr!

suck it up, boys!!!! here in YQR it's -21C and for early in the new year, they say we'll have a few days where the high will be -28C!!

by the way, anyone here know how to put longjohns on a furnace?? :wacko:

 

[Buck]

take it while you can get it. it was +40.3 here in melbourne yesterday

 

[MagSeal]

I'm calling my travel agent....melbourne here I come.

Buck, you'd better get fixin' to have a whole slew of us canadian boys crashing on your couch....

 

[Buck]

well mag that would be fine and dandy if my couch wasn't back in alberta

 

[MagSeal]

that's quite alright Buck, we'll ship it down to where ever you're currently staying, hotel, grandma's house, local brothel (sheep farm). There is nothing that we can't make work

DR. sorry to hear about the bad luck, maybe you should call up the city boys to box up your trees for the winter like they do downtown by the bridge.
I know youre just bragging so you wont get any sympathy here, as I have lived near long lake for most of my life. but now residing in alberta. had to travel out to long lake over christmas to fish in some water that wasnt frozen, it was nice just me and the eagles fishing I think they were up on me by the end of the day though. the forcast here for whitecourt tonight is -34 and I heard a rumour that it going to get pretty cold out there soon so you might want to cover those palm trees with some burlap sacks for a while.
you should probably head over to the longwood pub and keep warm by the fire till it gets a little nicer out. good luck

ahhhhhh..... long lake... good memories there!!! but nothing beats the peter pond in fort mac in full swing!!!!

Tis a balmy -10 or so here in sunny YYC but supposed to get down to -20C tonight everyone will be plugging in their cars etc

Funny thing howwever, back in the PM days (pre-metric) it never got cold until it got to -25F. What teh hell happened??? -20C is still shirt sleeve Wx

Buck - if you are in Melborne for a while can you check out if there are some guys still rebuilding an ex-RCAF MkV Spitfire some where around there. They got a set of tail feathers from a guy in YYC about 5 years ago and were supposed to have this thing up and running by now.
