    So - Does the new place have a high speed connection? - or are you now forced to dial-up?

    Also - truthfully now - How many boxes have you not unpacked?

    As long as he's unpacked the boxes with the kilts and the liquor what does it matter?

    -40 Al? is that in celsius or farenheit? Oh wait they're the same at that temperature! Hope you did unpack that booze. So is Manitoba a stop off before you come to a man's province (the one that's one over on the right)?

    Thanks everyone. Been a long couple of weeks for us for sure! We're mostly unpacked and set up, just have to find a few things in town now. We also still have to sell our old house in Calgary. Hopefully that will happen soon.

    I do my surfing on DSL, thankyouverymuch. Nothing but high-speed here. As for a truthful count on boxes we haven't unpacked...picures say 1000 words:



    This is the room in the basement that will become our home "office" and computer room. Right now I'm using my laptop. Abut half of those boxes are for Karen's holiday decorations, so they just need to be hidden away in the attic rather than unpacked.

    Send me a PM when you're planning any trips into the 'Peg and maybe we can meet up for a couple pints.

    Hi Chris. Oh yes, I remember winter weather in Manitoba. I just found it amusing that it was fairly warm here until the day we arrived.

    I'll definitely give you a heads up before we come into the city. It would be fun to get together for a drink or 4.

    Kilts and booze are both unpacked and being appreciated. int:

    Stop off point????? I suppose I could go to a man's province, but why would I want to leave God's country to do that?

    ....And your next mission is to find out if you can get a 'kilted' license plate in Manitoba.
    It goes without saying that we will be expecting reports on kilted life in that province. Topics such as "dealing with mosquitoes* and blackflies..." Oh. That's almost too awful to think about...
    Enjoy your new home!


    *Manitoba's provincial bird.
    EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.

    The Mosquito is truly, or at least should be, the provincial bird.

    And they're not just mosquitoes...a more apt description is Prehistoric Pterodactyl Skeeter's...
