You must go look at Two Lumps.
Some of the strips are enh, but some of them are hilariously funny. The one I've linked to is my favorite.
I went to the ski show and got me some skis. I still need some boots, though. Might go this afternoon. Might go after work on Tuesday. Gotta get ready. Wachusett opens on the 26th, weather permitting. :)
I also found out there's a leetle teeny half-way decent ski hill here in town. Much like Centennial Hill in Toronto, Blue Hills is nice and close to the city. It's only got one chair lift, and a couple of tows, but it'll be handy for last minute ski fun. I was under the impression that they had no snowmaking, but the website claims they have a new system. And they have night skiing, always a necessity when it's pitch dark at 5:00pm.
Speaking of which, I noticed that it gets darker here significantly earlier than in Toronto. Must be a factor of how much further east we are. We had more snow sooner, but I think that's because we're not much further south.
Huh. According to that website, Waltham, Massachusetts, where we live, is north of the southernmost point of Canada (which is no longer Point Pelee, but Middle Island in Lake Erie). Waltham's latitude is listed on various websites as approximately 42.4 degrees N. Middle Island is 41.7ish. Toronto's latitude is about 43.39 degrees. That's sure not a lot. The distance between the two is pretty much due east (or west, depending which way you're going).
Interesting fact to know, huh?
