... can it really be that I am the first of our german bunch to post in this thread? unbelievable! probably all my native fellows are too shocked of that long hot summer we have over here 'waving to culttvgirl and the others from england' and are camping outside for 3 weeks now ;-) i never thought i would say so, but i am longing for rain.
oh, and: I am from Köln and now live in Münster, both NRW.

I'm in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Originally, I'm from Manitoba, where the mosquitoes get big enough to carry away small children. Summers are much nicer in Calgary.

So where are all the other Canucks? Do I have to start a CFL taunting thread to get y'all to come out of the woodwork? (Go Bombers!)

(. . . he quietly tries to sidestep the challenge knowing that the Argos don't add up to much . . .).

Downtown Toronto is my home and it's a 20-min walk to work under a canopy of trees amid lake breezes. (And, you know what? I don't give a gorram about sports anymore so, take your best shot at the Argos ;-)

(Side note: I've never been to the prairies. Must visit Calgary -- heard good things about the oil/cow town. chrs!)

Actually, I'm not much of a sports person either. This is more of a taunt at my nephew, who swears that football is God's gift to Canada. But the Argos - the Argos, man!

Calgary is cool - especially because there is going to be a Firefly Party and Firefly discussion at the ConVersion, which is the big scifi convention in town (this weekend, or I would be there).

But, as I'm not a rapid Westerner, I have to say Toronto is pretty cool too. Been there a couple of times; my sister even lived there for a while.

so here's another german. greetings from Nuernberg, Franken (northern half of Bavaria but we don't like being reminded of it. they took us by force! just kiddin)

sorry for posting late but I've been in heat-hibernation for the last weeks. trying to crawl into the fridge actually.

it's tooo damn hot over here. we've had about 100F for 5 or 6 weeks straight now. normally germany gets a few days of about 85F a year nothing more.

and I'm a fall person anyways. love the storms and the fresh air. so I'm really suffering from the heat and my best friend is sooo happy about it, he always wants to go out bicycling or anything and I'm just near dead.

hope it rains soon (they said it will this evening but I don't believe them as a rule).

ahh and sorry for rambling, it's the heat...

Stillshiny, that is an impressive list! BTW, The Garden State is New Jersey (Yeah, I know. I know.) After a few more posts, someone will need to compile a new list.

When the list got long enough, I printed out a blank world map off of the internet and colored in the states and countries named. It never occured to me to make a list. That's just me, though. I'm a color coding kind of guy.

Come to think of it, when I taught World Literature and grammar at the high school level, everyone in the English Department color coded their lesson plans and period schedules. I guess people who use that part of the brain are more comfortable with that sort of visual mapping.

I don't teach anymore, though. Kids suck.

I'm in the metrowest/Framingham area. How about you? Did you see the New England Shindig thread? You should make your voice heard! If there is enough of us in New England, we might all get together and watch Firefly when it comes out on DVD at a conference hall or something. Where and when is still in the air. Right now we're still seeing if it is worth while. It won't be much of a Shindig if three people answer the call.

so JOHNNYREB, You we're a teacher huh, Yeah me too. Loved teaching. I didn't like having to do the whole "I'm the authority" thing. Was sad to discover that all students we're not eager learners like in Dead Poets Society. Oh, well people change. I still get to teach every now & then when I help with the youth at church. Yeah, bringing "Religiousity to thems as need it most". Man I love talkin like Mal.

Missing from list is Toronto -- musta been blackout.

(I worked 21 hours on Thurs-Fri to get out from under the blackout mess. And I'm pisst!
-begin rant- I'm looking to blame someone/thing. Okay, victims, UNITE. Write your legislative representative and tell him/her: don't think we missed the fact something is very wrong when a single grid brings down dozens of others. Here in Toronto this has cost millions of dollars and will continue costing for some days and weeks. I won't go into detail but don't let anyone who has anyhing to do with protecting/providing energy sources get away without an explanation and a fix. . . bahhh. I could go on but I've already hijacked this thread . . . sorry

Hi Y'all,

in the howz. That is to say, I live in Berkeley CA. I've got six other Browncoats about, that I know of, and would like to hook up with some more, so (and I hope this doesn't break some computer-culture rule that I don't know of)if you're in the East Bay - San Francisco Bay Area or planning to visit it, here's my e-mail address: lunatikat@hotmail.com
and I would love to hear from you.

I grew up in Palatka, Florida, then moved to Gainesville - Go Gators! - where I shot my college career in the foot with the gun of my own libido. Escaped to SF, but finally had to get warm again and wound up here.

Lunatikat - the lights are on, but no one's next door.
