They were saving that one to ask in person.... :D Another one not yet asked is; "Do we still use dogsleds.... in the winter" :D It truly must be mighty fine to live in a delusional world where everything else does not exist beyond your own little microcosm....

Then again, the next time you're down there watch their evening news.... International news has 5 minute duration. Local news is .5 to 1 hour depending on location.

HMMM, DON'T YOU LIVE IN AN IGLOO LIKE I DOO??? LOL

They missed the one where we live in Igloos:canadaflag:
It's funny you said that, I was in the southern states working about 5 yrs ago and I actually had a fellow ask me this question, at first I thought he was joking but he was serious, than he asked me how we got around in the north, his question was do we use dog sleds, I was so suprised by these questions that i decided to give him dumb answers, I said to him the biggest problem with our igloos is heating them, our electric heaters keep shorting out when the igloo starts to melt.
and I said yes to the dog sled question and when the snow gets too deep we have to ask the dogs to use 4 paw drive.
thanks for the laugh, I havn't thought about that in a long time.
