calling for +8 here tomorrow. That is just insane! I can't stand haot weather when it should be cold. Not to mention this is ruining the skating, snowmaching and skiing. Oh well, just have to go home and do a lot of that the last week in Feb. on my reading week. Over 3.5 feet of snow at home and lots of ice. smile.gif

Sureshot - You've got a SHOVEL to build your with igloo! Wow, talk about the conveniences of the modern age, my family still has to use a musk ox shoulder blade to dig out our igloo. Hey whistlebritches, how do you keep the ice in your curling rink when it's 70 in Louisianna?

Ya, but those are 40 pound marbles! It's hard to describe curling without making it sound pretty lame but you could compare aspects of it to golf in a lot of ways - it's not a fast moving, action sport but one which combines stategy, precision shot making, and a skillful touch. As well, you can play it from age 6 to 90 and still enjoy it. Like golf, it's a sport enjoyed by many, mastered by few. Whenever you "curl" there's always a social aspect to it (drinks with the team after the game) and when you go to a bonspiel (tournament) it's a weekend long party. When the Brier (Canadian Championships) was here in Saskatoon last year the attendance for the week was somewhere in the 150,000 - 200,000 range, and yes, it was a very big party!
