    But like any good Canadian town, we have had no shortage of volunteers ready and willing to mount a rescue mission for the beer.
    I would be willing to participate in such a *hic* worthy cause. An international rescue mission to help my good neighbors from Canada. Our rally cry, Deus lo Volt. "God wills it."

    Actually, the houses here, though standard bull**** 2x4 construction, have roof trusses every 16". A standard roof will hold 4'-5' of snow before things get nasty. But with the warm weather, 4' of snow on a roof gets heavy like cement. And if it rains... "Boom!"
    I suspect that those sheet metal parts on the top of the roofs might have a purpose. Warm weather equals:
    "heavy snow is falling down, falling down, falling down, hitting people all the time, until the roof is emty." Well not always, most roofs got a grid to prevent it nowadays anyway. Walking on a roof is quite dangerous here too, slipping is easy and the steeper roofs is almost impossible to walk on.

    Now we're finding out the owner of the bar was doing renos upstairs to make a few apartment units. He took out supporting walls without putting in new cross beams. What a dummy
    I wonder what those supporting walls are doing?
    I'm betting there's no problem to remove them.

    To bad that it costed a bar for him to find out.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    In my town, everyone is welcome for a beer. Even the Mossad.

    (But they have to have their own passports.)
