Wonderings

After my musings yesterday about my car, and still in this deep freeze, I have to admit that I am in awe of the fact that our cars work at all when it's this kind of cold. It would seem perfectly natural to me today if I looked out the window and saw dogsleds running down the road and people in fur-lined parkas carrying harpoons. Now there's some good old stereo-typing for you. I also have to wonder what would make anyone choose to settle here, I mean back in the days of discovery and colonization. The explorers surely must have landed in July.
