I can open a tin (ring pull type) of chopped tomatoes without covering myself in tomato juice. Bow before me.

You have an envy list?

Is it written in black marker pen and everything?

It blows my mind everytime I see one of these threads. It's just such a common occurance where I live that it amazes me that people are willing to travel here to see them! Honestly, I barely even notice anymore! lol! Anyway, I'm going up to my cabin this weekend in northwestern Ontario. I'll see if I can get some pictures although they do seem to occur more in the fall.
