that "amazing pattern" talk sure piped down the past couple days. We roll into late-winter with what appears to be a mediocre and pretty forgettable pattern for enthusiasts.
the good news is that arctic cold and very dry conditions settle in to finish January, before we torch up February. your slush (if any) pack should be frozen in place
We'll see some very nice days at some point this month, and there's nothing wrong with cold crisp nights and dry, sunny days. Especially given the increasing sun.
Yeah, many of us drummers had been wondering why Lifeson and Rush called it quits so suddenly. Surely, superhuman NP wouldn't let a little arthritis get in the way. That is just like Neil Peart, though. Very sad.
I know NP claimed to have arthritis issues, similar to Phil Collins for ex., but you have to wonder if he had been battling cancer for a while too. He was a very private person, not sure he'd put that out there. Great drummer and musician. RIP
