RE: [Leica] Montreal LUGgers unite! or Canadian weather

["Ian Stanley" <stanley@loxinfo.co.th>]

Hello ken,

	If I stayed in when it was that hot I would never get out.  This morning I
went over the weekend market to cruise for snaps - it's a great place with
lots of people and thousands of stalls selling just about everything
imaginable.  I was using my M6 with a 50mm 1.4.  While I was there I ran
into another farang (foreigner) who had two Nikon F5's around his neck one
with a flash, a huge backpack and a tripod and when he opened up his pack
there must have been 8 to 10 more lenses and another body in there, not to
mention the accessories and film.  He was dissolving in pools of sweat when
I left him and it felt great to be traveling so light.

Cheers,

Ian

Ian,

When it is that hot, I stay indoors!

Greetings,

        With all this talk of winter and Canadian weather I just couldn't
resist.
It's early morning in Bangkok and I'm just heading out for a morning of
cruising for snaps.  There is a slight haze but the temperature is around 32
degrees - yes that's above zero!  Where are my sandals?

Cheers,

Ian Stanley

Bangkok, Thailand

Ken,

Does the weather improve in Toronto?

*Actually, I know for a fact that Toronto weather *does* improve, as I
visited that fair city 2 or 3 years ago between Christmas and New Years. It
was a blisteringly hot winter, so I was told - the temperature only got
down to about 0°. Within minutes of leaving the hotel for dinner the first
evening, I had no feeling in my ears, my eyes got bleary and the cold air
seemed to scrape at my lungs like sandpaper. I understood that this was a
mild winter the next day, when I saw many a Torontoan sipping coffee at
outdoor terraces in shortsleeved T-shirts and jeans. They explained that
the winter before, temperatures sank to about -40.
