People moan about February but, as an undergrad pal said every year, it goes like a bat out of hell. Three weeks to March and the weather at a balmy -5 needs no hat or chin-zipped parka. We are closer to leaves coming out than falling and it will be in the twenties here someday within a few weeks if only for that freakish day every year that sees you get that sunburn under the chin and on the shins, sun reflected on snow as you walk around outside too long in shorts.

- Articles for the sister station, A Good Beer Blog.
- Pick any day's tunes as heard on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day hosted by my personal emailing buddy, Brent Bambury. You won't find a better music selection on radio anywhere - certainly not on the deeply dowdy CBC.
- Another plume catches my eye.
- Stuff less serious than Stuff.
- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.

Hear, hear! As a current undergrad and a lover of all types of Canadian wether I know exactly what you mean.

Winter will be coming to an end in 3 weeks in Ottawa. That is to say the Rideau Canal will close just in time for it to be impossible for my girlfriend and I to skate on it when she gets here March 6. I suppose things could freeze up again mid-March after she leaves but you can count on temperatures in the 0-5 range as long as she's here.

I bet you the end of February and the end of winter's looking pretty far away to the East Coasters right about now!
