No that's the salad, you know the horrid one with diced frozen veggies and salad cream.

Try these when they're on sale - about $2 a pack. Make sure they're the ordinary oatmeal ones.

If you close your eyes they pass for hobnobs.

Any why don't you get butter with them?
Things I don't like, being too far from the sea, no cats eyes, no decent radio to listen to in the car.

I tried Sirius but the world service is very strongly weighted towards Africa, and other less developed parts of the world, which can be interesting but not all the time. Music I get enough of when the kids are in the car, the rest of the time I survive on downloads of the archers, news quiz/now show, and fighting talk supplemented by cbc1 (which is a bit like permanently listening to 'you and yours') or 680 in case the weather forecast has changed in the three minutes since they last broadcast it. Audio books help though.

How many cats eyes do you think would be left after this snow plowing exercise.

It is, of course, true. It was tried many years ago but quickly abandoned because of the damage done to the highway.

I find car insurance a tad pricey and I'm no fan of the humidity in summer. Beyond that, income taxes are too low and people seem far too inclined to vote Liberal over and over again.

a quick look at Plasticcanuck's video and you get an inkling why car insurance is high.

It may once have been true but there are plenty of roads in America and in Switzerland that have both cat's eyes and snowploughs so, with the technology of today, it can be done. My guess is that Ontario doesn't have cat's eyes today because it didn't have them yesterday and things move slowly out here.
