Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think its a reasonable assumption that the vast, vast, VAST majority of parents would not let their children do something unsafe.
You are less cynical than I am. So our definitions of reasonable differ.
I think it's a snap to find hundreds of children whose parents a) aren't paying attention b) don't care c) are wrong or d) can be distracted. You have a more cuddly view of human nature.
BUT IT SHOULD BE DAMNIT.

In the corner with sarameg.
Why are you in places with appreciable winters, then?

I have an inexplicable fondness for George Michael's Freedom '90. This makes me feel very old.
My ipod has an explicable fondness for Lyle Lovett songs. This makes me feel very happy. Or sad, depending on the songs that come up.

sara, you have at least a shot of early spring coming in February. Sue? I really hate to break this to you, but you live in Canadia! It's going to be cold for some time there. Sorry.
I just need to point out that in the northern US, winter is NEVER OVER IN EARLY FEBRUARY.
Are you a groundhog? I don't think you have the authority to tell us that unless you're an oversized rodent. Also, if you are in fact an oversized rodent, let me congratulate you on your language skills.

Honestly.
Different places have different definitions of "winter."
Though I gotta admit that my first winter in NC, winter ended in mid-February when the temps got up to (and stayed at) 80.

If you only know how many times a day I ask myself this.

Sobs.
Vancouver is starting to look pretty good.

Because I got this job before I discovered I hate winter with a great big hate?
I know here really isn't that bad, all things considered.
However, I'm not moving farther north ever. And I'm not kidding. It'd have to be a dream job that pays me an insane amount of money and allows me to be absent during winter.
