Not a roadie so much as pet sitter. New Boston terrier pup.

The monthly averages are supposed to be 5deg min and 19.8deg max, but we're all over the place this month. A few days ago it was up around 26deg max, today we're going for 17deg. I don't think we're going to get there as this morning was it -3.4 again.

It serves the same purpose as a hat worn backwards. Looking "cool" to some group of people.

Did you notice how the tires are too small for the wheels? They are almost coming off the bead. I bet one pothole and it will be a blowout. That Lexus looked like it was literally on the ground when I saw it from the perspective of my car.

20C doesn't sound so bad to me.... we spend half the year, at least, below that temp as the high. most of our winter is half that temp for the high.

I am mildly curious how they can get that much camber on the suspension. That has to be way past normal adjustment. It looks real stupid, and has to be dangerous.

20'sC during the day is nice, and the minuses in the morning has the benefit of killing off the flys. I normally like this climate it's just unusually cold at the moment. I like the cold regions for a place to visit and ski, but I'm not sure I'd like to live with it permanently. I lived in the tropics for a while, so it's nice to have a short winter and not be hot and sticky for a change.

Someone need to build a wave pool and artificial beach - That'd be Paradise for me then.
