In most of Europe (esp. "western" Europe) I'd guess that your average mayor would be reasonably conversant in English. I remember more than a few conversations in Hungary where I sat and listened to other people talk in Hungarian, though. At least you can swear at them if you need to :-).<BR/><BR/>We had two consecutive snow storms last week that dumped pretty hard across most of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Morris missed most of the snow from the second one, but we still went from bare ground to a food of packed snow in a week. Tom's school was cancelled both Thursday and Friday, mostly due to blowing snow in the country, which he figures <EM>almost</EM> made up for having to do a lot of shovelling.Nic McPheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029078148048360140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753121601895047772.post-87147311648871348152007-03-02T09:37:00.000-08:002007-03-02T09:37:00.000-08:00Thanks, Leora!
