Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008  Hi Fraggle Plants are being silly in your neck of the woods too then! Presumably the plum will start again later in the year. We were supposed to have snow today but didn't get any down here, although Peter in Wales may have had some. Apparently there was a little about twenty miles from us. The wind has been very cold though. I hope you don't get the snow - I know you don't like it.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Good advice. I never chose them, but had to use them when a nonprofit went out of the internet-access biz and dropped us all in their laps some years ago. It was a real relief to drop them, and as a bonus spam decreased 95 percent. I found a great local (Oakland) access provider, which was also one of the most reasonably priced -- california.com. The only downside was having to change the e-mail address. So that's my advice -- find a small regional provider.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I used to try to ride a bicycle year-round when I lived in a snowy climate in the midwest. It was fine except for Jan-March, when the cold air would hit my eyeballs and freeze, which was painful. So I settled for Apr-Dec. Keeping my feet dry and my hands and ears warm was also important, but aside from that, staying warm and dry was easy. At 11:34 PM +0000 1/6/08, jo wrote: ?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr the best was when i rode from SF to san diego..in december of 1998..... nuthin like doing 70 on the freeway when its below freezing in the passes along the coast.... brrrrrrrrrrrrr i'd get to a rest area, and run inside the nbathroom and try and run hot water over my cramped fingers.... whee fun yarrow Jan 6, 2008 3:55 PM Re: Quiet I used to try to ride a bicycle year-round when I lived in a snowy climate in the midwest. It was fine except for Jan-March, when the cold air would hit my eyeballs and freeze, which was painful. So I settled for Apr-Dec. Keeping my feet dry and my hands and ears warm was also important, but aside from that, staying warm and dry was easy. At 11:34 PM +0000 1/6/08, jo wrote: ? Way back when we had a bike we had non-leather leathers (I think they were oiled something or other) - jackets and trousers, motorcycle gloves and loads of warm clothes for underneath - still froze!
