We don't always get snow here but when we do it cripples the area. Too many hills. Now that we live at elevation and in the boonies the snow is devestating. The snow tires made a huge difference and were worth every penny.<br /><br />I like this portrait of you. It captures your wonderful spirit I think.LeSanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07939320676822416742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-84886087070454526822009-11-30T11:34:36.382-08:002009-11-30T11:34:36.382-08:00Barbara, the fact is (facts on the ground) public ...Barbara, the fact is (facts on the ground) public transit where I live in Hamilton now considered greater Toronto, is in decline, disarray – it’s almost impossible to get around without a car – little, choice, not a good thing. In Toronto, suburban Toronto- transit also lags, those who live there are not well served by it. <br /><br />A familiar comment from Europeans is that the Toronto transit system is way, way behind. As for high speed trains – we don’t even have them yet.<br /> <br />By all means better cars, maybe electric in light of peak oil. I personally love cars – they’re sexy as anything, beautifully designed and moulded, like sculptures with wheels. <br /><br />I admit I've imbibed some rhetoric along the way (from you know who), which I have now come to believe. Nor do I consider it right wing or reactionary. Now when you say move into the light, do you mean, become enlightened? I'm working on that.<br />love you,<br />Marciacohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-58035768508887445572009-11-29T21:12:02.542-08:002009-11-29T21:12:02.542-08:00It sounds so scary to drive on icy roads.

You're right, we in the southwest, in the desert area, don't have any idea what snow tires are or how to drive in such weather. <br /><br />You are remarkably good at portraits and I'm in awe of your ability to draw such a wonderful self-portrait!<br /><br />Thinking warm thoughts for you and yours!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-7710384072483838782009-11-29T19:25:14.528-08:002009-11-29T19:25:14.528-08:00Hi Marcia,

righ...Hi Marcia,<br /><br />In a way the transit argument is <br />right wing, because if people still need to drive cars, and do multiple jobs, and work where there is work, then the solution is to create more<br />transit, and create cars that don't pollute. As long as the only option is transit, the car makers can hide and not give us inexpensive non-polluting cars, which they already know how to make.<br />Just trying to get a rise? The line is busy. I am so marking and sitting in a fog of admiration for your amazing sculpture posted today. You are a genius. Move into the light! <br /><br />Ciao,<br /><br />xoxoxoxBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-38399302761100245992009-11-29T19:21:34.790-08:002009-11-29T19:21:34.790-08:00Hi Eldon,

But I will as soon as it speeds up again.<br /><br />I never time myself, so I couldn't tell you Zina. When I'm drawing I just draw until I think there's something there.<br /><br />Take care, and thank you once again.<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-35862691861460423762009-11-29T19:13:27.292-08:002009-11-29T19:13:27.292-08:00Hi Liza,

Are those new glasses? I wish I could look that good in glasses. If I did, I’d consider wearing them all the time. As for winter driving, you know what David would say – we need better public transportation, more high speed trains….<br /><br />xxxoooxxxo Marciacohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-30307731142929506822009-11-29T09:13:36.553-08:002009-11-29T09:13:36.553-08:00Hi Barbara, Great drawing!

Clicking on the icon or the name didn't get me to the site but typing the address into the bar at the top of the screen got me there. Copy and paste didn't work either. Lots of pictures. Also Zina's site is a sort of testimonial. Way cool.
