 ML>> stop in YZF first (no wintry mix there).
 NB>> Pure winter is easier to take, at least to my mind...  :)

 ML> We were talking about this very thing, as it was -20F with a
 ML> light breeze as we were walking around last night, and Jim
 ML> was saying that he preferred this to the +20F and high humidity
 ML> and gusty winds that we often get on the east coast. Of course,

A light breeze doesn't make for as bad a windchill factor..  :)  Did you
and Lilli get to see the aurora yet?

 ML> there are places where one has the worst of all worlds, such
 ML> as Kugluktuk, where Roslind does mental health work a week a
 ML> month, and where it currently is, in the middle of the morning,
 ML> -35F and wet (being right by the Arctic Ocean); here it's only
 ML> -17F now.

Bundle up well for there, for sure... but it gives a nice way to keep
things in perspective for you.  :)

 ML>> We're supposed to get rain and snow today just as our
 ML>> concert audience is supposed to be traveling in. Poop.
 NB>> So, did they make it in, or were they deterred by the weather mess...?

 ML> They made it in: advance ticket sales are a wondrous thing.
 ML> As it turns out anyway, the weather wasn't all that bad,
 ML> and rumor has it we had a near sellout.

It seems that people in areas that get nasty-ish weather regularly don't
let forecasts deter them from what they want to do... now, getting
outside and having it be totally miserable might make some think
twice...  (G)   So, you had a good audience... and, from what I see
other messages, a good concert as well...

 ML>> There's the question of when somethings starts being
 ML>> prejudice. As in "Natives can't hold their liquor" -
 ML>> what's the percentage that allows you to 1. believe it
 ML>> or 2. legislate it.
 NB>> And in any case, is one group really all that more affected than
 NB>> another... I know plenty of non-natives that can't hold theirs any
 NB>> better... shrug...  

 ML> Actually, Kugluktuk is a dry community, which from what
 ML> little I hear really benefits from being dry.

Probably keeps the non-natives better in line... ;)  If it's their own
decision, more power to them.... :)

ttyl       neb

... Change is inevitable ... except from vending machines.
