All Terrain Twister

Well, Santa brought Chris a Tyco All Terrain Twister and it is the coolest remote-controlled vehicle I've seen. There are corkscrews on the sides, and it screws its way across the snow, sand or water. Since it was only -20C outside today, we drove it across the snow. Waaay cool.

When they said the temperature was "going to drop" on Saturday night (2004-12-18), I didn't think it would be 10 degrees per hour at first. From 18:40 to 19:40 it dropped 10C, then slowed from there.

Then last night it got colder yet again. -35C?!?!?!?! I can't recall when we saw that last.

Doug and Yvon's Site Visit

Yes, it is another remote site visit next week. This time we have to fly to LAX in Los Angles, drive to Arcadia / Monrovia (40 mins NW?) for meetings at a vendor for some project meetings. So it is kinda in LA, and close to Burbank (NBC, WB), Universal City, and that general Hollywood thang. Watch for updates here and pictures at my flickr.com feed for latrip2004.
