It does get cold in the winter but you'll roast your butt off in the summer Fred. I'm a bit of a home body. Never been out West or to the U.S. either. We did land in New York harbour back in 1957 when we immigrated to Canada from the U.K. A taxi took us past the Empire State Building but spent a lot of time in Grand Central Station waiting for our train to Canada. Everything was big when you're 8 yrs old.
