I don't understand how (often why) people live in the cold. I've expirenced two winters with snow and as soon as I had to chip the ice off of my car doors to get them open, I drove straight out of town.
Good luck.

Glad to hear the family is doing so well. I had a few cats, but left them random places... I'm not allowed to own pets anymore. Had to look up CIMA: sweet! It's always good to have an accountant around. I'll be needing one to sort through all my problems after years of being jobless.

I just went with some crew to town. We are anchored out a bit from the harbor and took a small tender to the island. The keychain broke, and I watched the key sink and dissappear. We climbed a hill and visited Ft. Saint Louis with a backpack full of beer... which did nothing for us on the ride home. There were four of us, (me, two large men, and one small one) and two ridiclously tiny oars. Hahaha what a joke it was. We got far enough to feel as if we had made progress, but not nearly far enough to feel hopefull when gorgeous young islander came to our rescue and towed us back to the yacht.
