All this seriousness about snow removal offers a very different picture. Sounds like you live in a post-apocalyptic ice age where scary mechanical monsters now threaten the survival of the once peaceful and thriving culture of French-Canada. Jen and I are also very thankful for the card. Give Garth a ride on your back for me and keep them clear of Woolly Mammoths. I always thought of Montreal as having relaxed, laid back atmosphere.

They are less neat because they don't have tracks. They're just regular ol' Bobcats. But do they zip! We have taught the kids to look up and be ready to run whenever they hear engines because the drivers do not stop to look. I don't know of any children being killed by them, but it's just a ticking clock down here. Watching the video, Claire was anxious about the people walking in front of the dump-truck-snowblower duo. Me too, actually. But I am here not for any of this but to say that your Holiday Greetings card was just so very special, and we are so honored to have received it. It is just so extravagant, so gorgeous, so rich in color and life. All of our hopes and dreams are pictured in this card. We cherish it. Blessings and joys to you both and to your beautiful, amazing cats. What special, special cats they are. Just love them and let them know you love them every single day of their lives, and you will be rewarded in blessings and special joy. Forever. We have little sidewalk plows at Eagle Heights, too.

But wait! The weather forecast for the coming week calls for a precipitous drop in local temperature, all the way down to (gasp!) 47F! That, and precipitation too! This could mean the peak of Mount Toro, seventeen or so miles away, and visible from Monterey...AND just barely high enough for rain drops to freeze, may be snow-capped! If it is, Monterey residents will - from the comfortable warmth of their outdoor porches - gaze nostalgically over at distant Mount Toro. Gee. Look! Snow!! Why, it's like a pretty Christmas card!!

So cool. And OMG that guy clearing out his car... I had somehow always thought that maybe I could live in Montreal but this decides it... never. I could NEVER live in Montreal. There's a reason that my moves have taken me progressively more south (Toronto, Boston, DC) and that one day I hope to end up in California. I love the super snowblower!! So cool.
