 JW> ice fog
 GJ> How can anyone breathe without
 GJ> damaging their nasal passages?
 GJ> Isn't it painful?

 JW> No, but I'm used to it. I've been here 32 years. It does bother some
 JW> people who are newcomers.

I wonder what happens to your internal nasal tissues that enables you
to withstand such treatment?
 
 GJ> Or do you use nasal pre-heaters
 JW> Some people wear balaclava ski masks.

I have seen people wearing those; (here they are mainly used when
robbing service stations).  Don't they tend to get blocked with frozen
moisture from exhaled breath?

 JW> The crystals are extremely small if they remain suspended in calm
 JW> air and melt on contact.

They would still have a freezing effect, but I suppose if they only a
ninute part of the air, that would not be too great an effect.

 JW> I have heard of people freezing their lungs when doing hard physical
 JW> labour outdoors causing them to breathe heavily. Roslind's dad was
 JW> one. He was one of the last of the Hudson Bay Company's fur traders.

Omigosh!  That would be worse than just freezing the nose insides!

 JW> He was breaking trail on snowshoes ahead of a dog team and overdid
 JW> it. It incapacitated him to some degree the rest of his life. He had
 JW> to take a store job behind a counter in town with them after that.
 JW> That actually worked out well for him in the long run. The Bay was
 JW> transitioning from being a buyer of furs to chain of general stores.
 JW> He went into small hamlets, supervised the construction of the
 JW> store, stocked the initial inventory, trained the staff and moved on
 JW> to another one. Roslind grew up in a dozen such places, half of
 JW> which can't be found on Google maps as they are unincorporated
 JW> hamlets without post offices and off the highway grid.

That would be quite a change from just trading furs.  Did you ever get
to know him?

 JW> ... It turns out that Burger King is not associated with any monarchy.

To remove any such misconceptions, that chain is known as Hungry Jack's here.
