My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

I think Strike really has snow idea what a proper winter looks like.
But fear not! We all know nothing is beyond Texans:
Utilizing new (and fairly new/old) technology to lower surrounding air temperatures, create a new snowflex snow, among many other things...they're creating a year-round snow park resort in Texas. Complete with their own 35 acre, 250ft tall manmade mountain.

Whatever guys, Vermont still offers far better winters. That may come to an end with global warming though...And your resort probably causes global warming!Originally Posted by Louis VI the Fat

Ja Mata, Tosa.
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
Wonder if it will snow on Mauna Kea, it didn't last year so I missed out on the only snow I could have seen in a few years.![]()
Oh well, sunny and in the mid 70s today!

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
