Operation MenuDeep Freeze
It is -18 right now with the wind chill of -30! It is freezing and windy out there!! I went out for only 5 minutes to leave the garbage and recycled bins by the curb, and I could feel the cold on my cheeks, nose and finger tips. Normally I would just go out with my T-shirt on if the weather is around -10. I am not afraid of cold that much anymore, but it is very different today.A week ago, we …had an ice storm which killed a lot of trees, and now we have extremely low temperature. Many people are afraid of the frozen water pipes and heaters. We are, however, luckier than Quebec with -52 of wind chill factor! That is crazy!
Taiwan, I know you guys got hit by the low current and cold front. I heard that is snowing in many mountains . I feel sorry for you because the low temperature is rare there. However, the cold winter seems to hit the northern hemisphere this year.

Hm, I did not know - 18 was extreme in Toronto… I mean I knew Chicago is often gets very cold, I thought the Canadian cities were about the same… Yes, it is wise to get on one more T-shirt in that weather.
Snowing in Taiwan! Wow, that is …cool…
We had more than 15 today, that is at least 15 degrees higher than normally.
Anyway, I don’t think a city with such a great mayor would have serious problems…

Thanks, Song.
Frenec, are you talking about the Mayor in Toronto? He is not my cup of tea. I would never vote for someone like him, who is lacking integrity.

Yes, I know he is not your style. I read the an analyzation about his voters, they recall the series “According to Jim”… It’s just strage this may happen in Canada, it is not the place one would expect a man like him can be elected…

Frenec
He is a good example of some strange phenomena:
1. If you keep exaggerating that you have done a good job as a politician for so many times and for so long, eventually, you start to believe the myth that you yourself have done a good job. (He is very delusional about his achievement.)
2. If you keep telling the public that you have done a great job, even though the public records may only show one deed that you did, the general public starts to believe that you actually have done a great job. (Most people are not keen enough to check the reference anyway.)
His new slogan is “Ford More Years!” My slogan for him is “OMG, In Your Dream, LOL.”

As usual, I agree with you. Adding: point number 1. is valid in each field of life. And you know what? I envy those who can blind themselves.
But it’s Canada… Probably it’s my delusion, ha-ha; a guy like him would fit Texas or Alabama…
“Ford more years!” - sad but it sounds good… One has to pick a name wisely.
