<topless in public>> if temp. below +18C or +15C women are covered head to toe! Maybe a few breast s here and there and the pople not used to such displays go wild. <<actually pick parsley and chard from my back garden slightly sheltered areas almost all year and a few seasons all year in the past 10>> I think this Global Warming thing those Greenpenace weirdoes write about is becoming truth!!! LOL I was touring Canada from mid August to mid October and it was cold. The foothills of the Rockies until Vancouver is liveable. From there across the mountin range accross the plains untill you get to the Great Lakes is Artic. A little warmness from the water giving off heat around the Great Lakes, makes the area liveable again. Then YOu go out you reach the seocnd coldest country caiptal city of the workld after Ulaanbatar in Mongolia: Ottawa. Only when you come to the Maritimes and get a little heat given off from the Gulf Stream makes the area liveable once again. In thesea re areas man need an extreme costly life-supporting system to be able to survive. Almost like living in the mooon!

Spots, having served time in Ottawa, I know that summer's lease has all too short a stay. We had the first snowfall in September, which didn't stay on the ground, but shows how cold it was getting. Snow was permanent from the beginning of November. The last fall was in May, which again was a late dump which didn't last. Snow melted in April. So we had 9 months of snow one year. Then summer, mosquitoes and black-flies arrive in force. Not to mention sweltering, steamy thunderstorm days when a hot, humid, clear blue sky simply goes black over and hour or so, and torrential rain, lightning and thunder rule for an hour or so, then the sky goes back to clear blue when the water has all fallen out. It happened fairly frequently [sufficiently to be a feature of the area]. Too cold for too long for us! We headed back to base. Here, we don't get a summer, but at least we don't get much of a winter either. It's just cold all year! We need some global warming. Another 5 degrees would be about right. Mqurice
