Snow in Manitoba and Traffic Rant

My brother in Manitoba sent me pictures last night of the snow in his yard, on his car, in "Hobo Junction", and the birds still at his snowy bird feeder. Some places received 45 centimetres!
Couldn't log on last night to record it, Blogger was down for maintenance.
Val and I went out at noon for our daily walk yesterday and today. Yesterday, I bought a skirt and jacket. Today, I found a really cool place to get inkjet cartridges refilled, cheap!

Mike and I are going out for supper tonight, and have taken tomorrow off - an extra long Thanksgiving weekend. Tonight is supposed to be the first October blues night at the Ironworks...hmmm...we'll see.

Going to Vancouver next week for work. Loooong plane ride...

If I were King of the World, My Traffic and Vehicle Rules:
1. No minivans, SUVs, Hummers, half-tons or anything else you can't see around in the passing lane. Ever. Who the heck do these soccer moms and computer geeks think they're fooling?
2. No semi trailer trucks in the passing or merge lanes.
3. No Volkswagons other than Bugs acn be sold. All non-bug Volkswagon drivers are assholes.
4. Talking on cell phone and driving suspends your licence for a week.
5. There may be only ONE drink holder in any vehicle, for the driver. Too many people drink and drive and aside from manufacturers wasting valuable cargo space with drink-holders, it's DISGUSTING. Our car has about 7 of them! Idiot!
6. People with baby on board signs must drive in the merge lane, and never in rush hour.
7. Turn signals are NOT optional equipment, use them. If you turn your signal on, I will let you in. If you swerve over to suggest you want in, you won't get in.
8. SUVs and Hummers come with an outrageous retail tax; and must pay a toll to drive on any highway. They are not allowed to park anywhere except in gravelled lots with lots of roofer's nail lying about. If anyone in one of these vehicles kills a person in an accident, they go to jail for 10 years minimum.
