Makes complaining about the continuous rain up north a trivial pursuit?

developer Dave Henderson forecast a massive financial boost.

Flying in to Hamilton. It doesn't bear thinking about.

The discussions over the weekend has been fascinating and bring to mind places where I used to live in Chch--the old wooden mansion on the bend of Carlton Mill Road, in particular. But I have hesitated to make any commentaries as it seems rather impertinent. Such stories come best from those living through the experience.
