    Hmmm, I find this rather amusing. So many people I met every day have been saying pretty much the same...without the bike ride bit.

    My answer...what the f...you complaining about, this has to be one the most mildest winters in ages. Well for Nelson. Have only had about 5 really good frosts, I'm still waiting for winter to arrive. I love the really cold mornings when we bundle up with hats, gloves, scarfs and jackets and brave the outdoors everyday to go to school, as much as i complain about my poor cold nose, i so love the white frost on the grass. The big blows of huff into the cold air. The sliding on the frost...i love to complain about that it freezing and when is summer coming...and then when summer does come, i complain about being too hot!

    Honestly, there's just no pleasing some people. Enjoy your winter for it shall soon be over. Enjoy each day for those too will be over.....

    Picture your biggest carpark in town... no wait, the bigger town over, no, not the little one, the BIG one, and their biggest carpark. Now fill it with cars.

    Dot these in lines across a big space (think national park space) full of cars... thats a motorway... we call them moronways up here, since only morons seem to inhabit them
