Italians who live abroad for a while are always jarred when they return. Either they go straight into 3rd world countries or they face great trouble readapting to failing services and ridiculous wages - often unattainable since we have unemployemnt for OVERQUALIFICATION... idiocy.
One thing I enjoy of Italy is the relaxed way of living - I know that London is frenetic for everyone but I find frenetic Turin, which is nothing compared to Rome or Milan which are nothing compared to London so I think I'd be a very sorry axe in more civilizwed countries... in fact I stay in the countryside and work in the city, for the less stressful life.
I'd love moving in places like Texas or Tennessee... there is a lot of space and nature, sparse population with still big central cities and permissive gun regulations - something I miss in Italy and will miss ever more since almost everyone is trying to reduce gun rights in any way despite having a negligible ratio of gun related crimes, and 98,4% of them (real statistic) are executed with illegally imported (or sold by crooked police operators, which is sadly the norm here) weapons.

you might want to take a refresher in arithmetic, if you think 26 is odd.

Even I thought of the same thing, but you one me two it.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

He one, you mean?

Oddly enough, the odds are that 26 is the only number like it - which is odd in some ways.

Don't take any sass from them what sez today isn't an odd day.
That's not what you said. you said "It's been an odd day", not "It's an odd day", which means that, as far as I an reckon, it's been an odd day as recently as yesterday.
What in the world is their problem?

This big thing lit a haven before. (9)

Leviathan (anagram of lit a haven).

what was the clue to indicate anagram?
cheers,

Since there are only CCC experts now, the clues are not necessary anymore. You just _know_ when it is an anagram.
|
|
|
|
|
In that case if CCC is not going to follow the prescribed rules, I better withdraw myself to make an attempt to solve it as I am not an expert
cheers,

Damn, sorry, as I said I was in a rush, and I omitted that bit.

Maybe 'Massive thing lit a haven development (9)' would have been better

Most likely it will just be a few small flurries (< half-inch, or for my Euro Friends < 1.27 cm), but alas, the season has begun for good or bad. I don't particularly care for the snow, but my kids love it.

None in sight here, but when it comes it's time for me and my car to have a little dance on an empty parking lot.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I'm quite excited too. I got a "new" 1993 pickup truck. Than means no driver enhancements (traction control) and rear wheel drive to enhance my dance as well! Sometimes the best features are no features at all!

Most of all I don't ever want to be as helpless on snow as the people in West Texas.

Reminds of a song lyric.
James Mcmurtry song lyric: ‘Cause there’s something inside us that won’t let us be
In stalks through our days ‘til it’s too dark to see
And it’s damn near as deadly as Texans on ice
Lord don’t they beat all
Y’all have a nice holiday

I love snow, as long as it stays where it's supposed to be ... on postcards and other photos.
