good thing the trappers started their season in yuma, arizona, instead of here. edmonton got theier april snowfall today, and by the looks of the forecast, the snow wont go away until friday when it supposed to warm up. im still looking forward to the 24, when the trappers come home. gotta have my baseball kicks before they leave. we did get a northern league team to start in 2005. so we wons suffer without baseball after the trappers leave for round rock after this season.
