Is there any way we can contain them and keep them there?

I don’t even know anymore.. I think the anarchists live in Eugene, though.

Ah.I saw a very thin layer of snow last time I was in Oregon. I’m going to move there and become a hippy. They still have those there right? Did they get all run out of town and into Eugene?

We do get snow here in Ellensburg, but back home in Seattle it’s a bit more rare. We’ll go two or three years between snow events, and they basically shut the city down since the county doesn’t have the equipment to deal with it. Well, they do, but it’s all over in North Bend and Snoqualmie Pass, so it takes awhile.

Also, it’s not smart to drive in the snow around here. Not so much because you can’t do it, but because other people have no clue how to handle it. Not like back in Iowa where everyone is so used to it that it’s almost a non-event.

You get ’snow’ there as well, yes? I’ve seen it. Even risked my life on two sticks of unknown composition at death-defying speeds. I know it exists in some northern places, or some high altitude places.

Heh, if there is one thing we have too much of it’s rain! Actually I love the rain–and I tend not to mind riding in it if it’s still warm out. It’s when it’s in the 30s/40s and drizzling that gets to me.

Luckily I have a trainer I ride on, but I’m finding that I can’t really ride it in my current apartment since the floor sort of amplifies the vibrations and is awfully annoying.

Horray for lobbing! I forgot at first you are limited by weather during this term you describe as ‘winter’. It is a strange concept for those of us living in the middle of a vast wasteland of a desert, our only source of water an aquaduct with which we steal water from the Northerners.
