My favourite radio station, CKUA, was holding a pledge drive during their winter funding blitz. We were in the midst of dreadful low temperatures in Alberta, I think it was -48°C (-54°F) in Edmonton that day (where CKUA is located). Their grand prize for pledge givers was a trip to Aruba. They figured they'd be wise guys and look up a weather forecast in the local Aruba newspaper - they couldn't find anything. So they contacted the paper and asked why there wasn't a weather forecast. Answer? The weather is pretty much always the same, every day. There's hardly a difference from the warmest day of the year to the coolest, and there's not much difference between daytime & nighttime temps either. It's almost always sunny and it's almost always windy - windsurfers love it in Aruba. 30°C / 86°F and sunny with wind, every day of the year. ha ha  Ryan |

Renden
I had asked Rod why he does not post here anymore but he never said and noticed his images now appear. When I first looked at this thread this morning, they were in photobucket jail. Did someone fix something?
