More on Frankie, he has autism. In my experience, autistic people are often incredibly smart and gifted: http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/Canada/NS/ID/2338802143/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ho, fucking, Ho

Tony a buddy in NFLD sent me some pics. Hope you fair the storm well.

[Tony L]

Really only started about an hour or so ago and we are supposed to be doomed to survive up to 40 Cm over two days. Not the end of the world, but depressing seeing it is supposed to be spring. Took me 45 minutes to get from the center of town to Mt. Pearl. Boy I wish people knew how to drive a 4 way stop when the light is out. Idiots.

Oh well, lots to do in the meantime.
Perhaps I'll do a batch on the stove tomorrow night if I have time.

[Tony L]

Got out of my driveway after an hour snow blowing and shoveling my way out. Just get about a mile from home and the boss calls me and says he is pulling all the vans off the road today. Woot, snow day... first one in an aweful long time. Time to brew.

[jeffsmith]

Enjoy the day brewing, Tony. Weather is shit here, a lot of the town is shut down again. I'm sitting in my nice warm office debating whether or not to fire up the snowblower, or just ignore the driveway...

[Tony L]

It`s not actually that bad here right now although the forecast is for another 20 cm with high winds. My son was called into work for this afternoon as the mall is opening up at 12.
Hope I can get my brew done before I am called back to work, although I doubt they will call me in for routine maintenance. But I do a lot of emergency calls, so I never know.

Just mashed in so we`ll see.

Frankie says rain +++ Tuesday and flooding. "Get your rubber boots ready, people of Nova Scotia"
