It's been said that northerners do not get enough Vitamin D during the winter and it could be a contributing factor in the high rates of cancer in these hemispheres. Whenever we get a cold crisp day with blue skies and bright sunshine, I feel great, despite the cold and snow.<BR/><BR/>Just heard on the news that it might be possible that temperatures here could go above freezing next week. Now if a warmup happens quickly, PUC's could be in for some problems. It seems that many run-off grates are buried beneath the snow, so some flooding could be experienced. Always something to worry about.<BR/><BR/>Another round of layoffs in the big three auto industry. I would imagine that places such as Windsor are in for a rather bumpy ride. So many people are turning to imports for their new purchases. Just last week, my daughter told me her company is doing just that. For years, they have always used domestic trucks, but with the entrance of the Toyota Tundra, they have decided all new vehicles will be from Toyota. I guess the old adage is right - if you build something people want and can afford, they will buy it. <BR/><BR/>It's rather hard to believe but February is half over already. I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day -- is that a day that is celebrated there?<BR/><BR/>Take care -- RosalieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
