Rain type 17 was a dirty blatter battering against his windscreen so hard that it didn't make much odds whether he had his wipers on or off.
(from, well, you should know without me telling you!)

What is that from? Must be like 99 types of snow for Eskimos...

And there are lots of bike paths, and they are painting green bike lanes on a lot of the roads now.

But wouldn't she turn into a snake if she did that????

He had read somewhere that the Eskimos had over two hundred different words for snow, without which their conversation would probably have got very monotonous. So they would distinguish between thin snow and thick snow, light snow and heavy snow, sludgy snow, brittle snow, snow that came in flurries, snow that came in drifts, snow that came in on the bottom of your neighbour's boots all over your nice clean igloo floor, the snows of winter, the snows of spring, the snows you remember from your childhood that were so much better than any of your modern snow, fine snow, feathery snow, hill snow, valley snow, snow that falls in the morning, snow that falls at night, snow that falls all of a sudden just when you were going out fishing, and snow that despite all your efforts to train them, the huskies have pissed on.

(from the same source!)

And Kenny, you should read your classics even if they aren't in the classic circuit yet!


Maybe this will help:

"Poor miserable sod," thought Rob McKeena to himself, realizing that here was somebody with a better right to feel hard done by than himself, "must be chilled to the bone. Stupid to be out hitching on a filthy night like this. All you get is cold, wet, and lorries driving through puddles at you."
He shook his head grimly, heaved another sigh, gave the wheel a turn and hit a large sheet of water square on.
"See what I mean?" he thought to himself as he ploughed swiftly through it. "You get some right bastards on the road."



The fog is really advancing here now... I can't see across the road anymore!

Sorry I hate guessing games....maybe I'll trip over it some day.

Well, I know who, but I'm not exactly sure where. I'm re-reading THHGTTG right now, but it has been many years since I last read it. Is it in there?

That's how we get rid of the tourists.

I was a nice tourist.

Oooh, I'm excited then. I grabbed up the whole series when Fictionwise had it cheap a couple of months ago. I've just started and I feel like I've stepped onto a great ride at the fair!

Just close your eyes while driving so you don't strain them searching for clearings.

It's 7C and foggy.

[kennyc]

It's been many and many a year since I read that....

Thanks for all the sardines.

GraceKrispy is sending us another pineapple express.

Wet, but warmer. 50 to 80 mm of rain expected by Friday morning.

It's been cold lately. Now we're back to the blissful rain.
