I didn't post my check yet. Guy B.: Hi Daniel Pamela: you have a while yet Daniel Ronald: Salut Monsieur Judy: hi, Daniel BobS: SALUTE rich-c: they have snow year round in the mountains, Ron Ronald: but not at highway level. Through Manning Park between Hope and Princeton, it was quite prevalent rich-c: I can remember getting thoroughly piled on in Banff in July Ronald: All the apple blossoms in the Okanagon are about 3 weeks late Pamela: question for all: I can re-send the form so it can be e-mailed, but it's a somewhat convoluted process. Would you all prefer that anyway? Judy: the mountains like snow we don't Daniel Bienvenu: because it was raining during a few days... all the snow is finally gone. but because the temperature was below 0 'C, we got some snow this morning. Pamela: Dad, where did I find the glacial goop? rich-c: have the mountains got a good snow pack this year, Ron? Judy: the tulips are out and Tulip Time is here so they are right on schedule Ronald: Yes, our local ski hill, Mt. Washington had about 12 feet rich-c: that was at teh Columbia Icefield on the Icefields Highway between Banff and Jasper, Pam Ronald: So far as I can tell, most of it is still up there Pamela: she says, substituting "find" for "fall into" rich-c: they desperately need to rebuild the snow - the prairie rivers are running low rich-c: we are having slightly early flowering - teh early tress like magnolia and cherry are out in all their glory Ronald: Our Glacier will be gone they say in 20 years rich-c: our apple and pear trees are still to blossom, though Pamela: we have magnolia and forsythia out over here Ronald: So anybody who lives on Glacierview Drive will have to change their address to Glaciergone Drive Guy B.: 13-3 Cubs Judy: our weeping cherry is done and the Magnolia froze last night rich-c: Guy, have you checked a driving route to St. Catharines? Pamela: oh dear Judy, that's not good Ronald: Cherries don't weep?? Meeka: my magnolia was done Judy: they do in Michigan Ronald: Really! Judy: mine had not opened yet Meeka: the fruit tree is in full bloom now, looks like it survived though Ronald: let's hope Guy B.: I did download a map and I saved it on my drive at work and I can access it from my own computer\ Guy B.: It would take about 8 hours. In my case maybe 10 rich-c: did they suggest going through Canada or the US? Ronald: Yea CUBBIES!!! Judy: our pear tree weathered the frost last night is still pretty Guy B.: Going through Indiana and Michigan rich-c: entering Ontario where, Guy? Ronald: Michiana Guy B.: I think towards Detroit Guy B.: I have to look at it again rich-c: get a routing Chicago - Port Huron - St. Catharines, Guy rich-c: it may save you a good bit in tolls and by much faster even if longer rich-c: also you can wait longer before buying gas in Canada Judy: our gas went up again this week Meeka: no kiddin rich-c: that is the route when we are going from Toronto to GR or Chicago Pamela: there are good arguments for both Meeka: I got some just before it went up tankfully Ronald: I don't want to buy gas anywhere rich-c: that figures - ours was down today to 1.19/litre Judy: we got it in Holland Monday at 3.50 at Speedway rich-c: yesterday it was 1.22/L Ronald: Don't want to hear that. Still up at $1.33 here Ronald: Somebody somewhere is making money Judy: Sam's was 3.61 yesterday Pamela: Guy if you go through IN, OH, PA and NY you would pay more in tolls but less in gas rich-c: the local financial gurus are saying that it will be between .50 and 1.50/l by July - they can't call it closer Pamela: If you come IN, MI, ON you pay fewer tolls but higher gas prices Guy B.: Ok, I got the directions from my personal drive at work Pamela: yeah Ron, the gas companies Ronald: I don't believe in gur's Ronald: guru's rich-c: well in fact I reckon I could make that call Ronald: no doubt Rich Ronald: like tomorrow the sun will come up, and then it will go down Guy B.: Ok, I would be taking I-94 through Indiana and Michigan to I-69 towards Lansing Pamela: if you came in across the US it's pretty much a straight shot across I90 /80 all the way to Fort Erie, NY rich-c: Guy, remember your range on a tank of gas - if you fill in Port Huron you may not have to buy in Canada Guy B.: It would change to Hwy 402/Blue Water Bridge until I get to the border Guy B.: I plan to do it that way rich-c: good thought, Guy - it may even be shorter because Lake Erie really pushes you south Pamela: From Sarnia / Port Huron is about 400 kms, Guy - about 250 miles Guy B.: So I believe these directions I got from the hotel, would work out rich-c: and I-80 and I-90 are all toll roads through there rich-c: also, the Blue Water route is much less hevily trafficed Guy B.: I would pay tolls on I-90 only and probably the Blue Water bridge I imagine Pamela: to St. Catharines, that is rich-c: right, our 400 series roads are not tolled (except 407 which you won't meet) Guy B.: I do have my I-Pass which will work with the Indiana Toll Road rich-c: yes, but you'd still have to pay about half teh width of Ohio - and endure all teh trucks Pamela: Bob, I expect it will take you about 7 hours, depending on how long you have to spend at the border Daniel Bienvenu: Pam, my printer is ... well... I need to buy a new one... but if I can reply to your email by another email, it will be fine for me. rich-c: if they use teh Bluewater Bridge they should get through pretty easily, coming into Canada anyway Judy: Map Quest says about 6 so that is close rich-c: teh whole bridge plaza has been rebuilt so there is room for teh traffic load Dale: Hi Daniel. Daniel Bienvenu: hi Dale Guy B.: I get paid three times in May, so I should be able to get the costs altogether Judy: we are leaving in the middle of the night so the traffic should not be an issue Daniel Bienvenu: Dale, do you remember the question you wanted to ask me last week? Pamela: my experience from GR to Detroit was about 2 hours Judy, and it takes about 3.5 hours from Windsor to the outskirts of Toronto Daniel Bienvenu: it's almost 23h here so... goodnight and talk to you next week. Pamela: based on 75 mph in the US and 110 kms in Canada, and building in bathroom breaks and such, I figure about 7 hours Daniel Bienvenu: bonne nuit rich-c: 403 peels off 401 and runs down through Brantford to Hamilton/Niagara, doesn't it? Daniel Bienvenu: good night Pamela: goodnight Daniel Guy B.: Nite Daniel rich-c: see you Daniel Pamela: yes it does, at . . . hang on lemme check Judy: takes us about three to Detroit Dale: Nope.

And you'll have the comfort of all your friends in one place at the end of it Ronald: yes.... looking forward to that part Pam Pamela: me too : ) rich-c: I have a little banner I use on carnuts - it says the trouble with retirement is you never gat a day off Pamela: you must take terrabytes of pictures - that's an order Ronald: ROTFL Ronald: Oh I intend to Pamela: and while away, you can work on your presentation : ) Judy: that is sad, Rich Ronald: Jeff is setting up some kind of deal whereby we won't read e-mail on line, but download it, and read and reply offline Ronald: shades of the mid-80's Pamela: Hey Dad, I can put you to work if you want : ) BobS: digital pics man.........keep, look at, toss the worst, and email the rest rich-c: didn't you say eaarlier you were plotting something? Judy: Bob put me to work Monday almost killed me Pamela: aside from that : ) Ronald: hoping to use my dot-mac account to upload pics to, then just point you all there to look at themn Pamela: Robert! Pamela: what did you do to her? BobS: made her WORK Ronald: Bob, if you do that, then who will make your lunch?

Mine suck Ronald: They tell me all these devices are now supposed to be capable of both, but not the ones I got rich-c: unless you take maximum resolution, maximum size pictures and never edit Ronald: All rechargeables suck Judy: I painted, knocked out braces in the basement, unboxed appliances, drilled holes and other things Ronald: just a case of finding the rechargeable that sucks the least Pamela: seriously, I get next to no time out of mine Judy: how about that for a day of free work? rich-c: I think ours came from Radiio Shack Ronald: Good for you Judy.
