As for the law, it is a good thing indeed but at the same time you wonder where the world is going when a province must vote a law to force us to put winter tires...in winter (this was actually one of our well known comic's joke in his one man show, it did make me laugh)!



I fully agree with you about the necessity of such a gas in tires and i know, although i paid for it, that it would have been just as good had i decided to put air instead. However, given that places like quebec do have quite the temperature changes (i'm thinking about my personal case as i'm also on the road a lot and i travel from montreal to trois-rivières, which is a tad up to the north east and is close to, as the name states, rivers, making it a rather cold city during winter), would it make it at least useful enough to make one consider it?

I'm not trying to find an excuse for my decision as i know and i fully assume the fact that i paid for something without really needing it but since we are talking about whether it's good or not we might as well try to see if there's any way it could at least be useful for street cars. Of course, companies could offer it just because they know some people will pay for it but would there be a situation in which one could really find an advantage in it?

...heck, i clearly can't try to justify my purchase, i just bought it because i like to live on the edge and if i ever hit a pothole there's a risk my car will blow up!





Having had issues with old and worn tires, i can only agree!



I'm sorry to read about your issue with your watch dawna! Wes did give you some good advice and i hope it will help you but if your jeweler can't find a way to adjust it more perhaps you could send it to rik dietel or bob ridley on the forum, they have solid reputations and i'm sure it will be less long (and expensive) than having to send it back to glashütte.

As for being a left handed, i must say i'm one as well and i always wore my watch on my left wrist so i'll have to disagree with your above statement!



Piano isn't great? Puh-leaaaaaaaaaaaaze! It sounded great wes, the tone it had added quite the effect to the song in my opinion!

Thank you for sharing your music with us (as always)! Michelle, your cards are very impressive!
