I think it is an American thing Joe: they have real winters with snow (apparently that is cold white stuff that falls out of the sky) and ice (that is when water freezes in lakes and rivers) over there!

Very strange... ;)
Telescopes: 12" f5 dob, Celestron CPC800, 150mmf5 Celestron achro, Tak TSA102, TV76, ETX125...
Binos: Steiner Wildlife XP 10x26, Swarovski 8x30 Habicht, Zeiss SFL 8x40, Vanguard Endeavour 10.5x45, Fuji FMTR-SX 10x50, Tak 22x60, Orion Resolux 15x70
Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE

Donuts So Fresh Their Faces Should Be Slapped. 😆

Life's Just Not Fair
My wife can scoop a fork full of rice off my plate from the opposite side of the table and not drop a grain.
My plate and mat look like they should have police tape around them.
