I was chatting online one day with a friend who lived in a town in northern Canada that really only existed because of a nickel mine. He said one day that it was -42 degrees there. I asked "Is that Celsius or Fahrenheit?" He replied "It doesn't matter!"

It's often said, quite rightly in my opinion, that there is no such thing as an accidental discharge of a firearm. There is only negligent discharge.

It's been raining pretty steadily here since yesterday afternoon. The nice kind of rain, not the sudden torrents that cause flash flooding.
