I recently returned from a trip to New England and Ontario and I can say, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that my love of the palm trees in California has diminished considerably. The darn things don't even change colour (spelt color in other parts of North America). Plus there's the whole kilometer/mile debacle. I just got used to the rental car kilometer speedometer and driving slower than molasses in February, and now I can't keep up with the traffic. Oh, and I realize that molasses in February line doesn't apply when there is no winter. And did you know that there are no dollar bills in Canada? I miss the Looney and the Tooney - although they can weigh you down. I could go on but I'd sound like a raving lunitic - sufice it to say that we live in a crazy, mixed up world which keeps life interesting. I'm attaching a photo of real trees so if you live where the trees don't change colour you can be amazed.
