Snowbound
Grrrr... The building next to mine is about 100 feet away from my balcony door, and I can barely see it through the blizzard. I missed a very important appointment today because transit drivers cannot drive in this stuff. I don't trust car drivers around here -- not even taxi drivers, whose profession it is to navigate through visual obstacles that would make a seeing-eye dog quail. The birds are leaving trails of breadcrumbs between their nests and the feeding station so they don't get lost! And I swear I heard somebody in my building say that she saw a snowplow stuck in the ditch!
On such a day, I could at least give my fish some exercise. If I had one of these. And if I had an aquarium.

You wimps! We here in Edmonton got hit as well. White outs everywhere. In a stretch of highway that is no more than 20 kms, there were, last I heard, 63 vehicles in the ditch! They could not see the road and simply drove straight in. I had to work today, fortunately the blowing snow had slowed a bit while I drove all over the city. It was sooooo much fun. Stay in and stay warm dude!
Those are the coolest aquarium accessories I have ever seen! If, and thats a very big if, I ever got back into the tropical fish thing, I want one!
I saw pictures of snow from a webcam in Barrie yesterday, there is a very tiny bit of white stuff floating down from the clouds today - but I don't think it's gonna amount to anything, we've given up on having winter here and are simply looking forward to an early start to the riding season.
Do you at least have a fish to exercise?
I used to have one...a Bekko koi... Unfortunately, the last time I saw him was during a horrendous snowstorm. We had gone for a walk and he slipped his leash, diving into the nearest snowbank. His coloring gave him enough camouflage that he was able to escape completely.
That's the last time I will have a fish in my home. They can be so fickle in their affections...
