Just got in from walking the dog. Temp is minus 14 C with a strong northerly wind.
Hard to walk into it..especially into the strong gusts. Weatherman says we should get relief around the end of March.

Oldest son is flying to Europe from Toronto tomorrow with an hour and a half stop in Iceland.
Toronto is expecting 15 cm of snow tomorrow and Iceland is expecting strong winds. Hope he's able to get there without major delays.

The airport in Iceland is a wonderful place to spend an hour or two. He'll enjoy it.

I worked with an Icelander in the Silicon Valley. He said cold as hell,
and the booze was expensive as hell. Big taxes.

We were in both Greenland and Iceland last summer but not long enough
to do a detailed cost of living analysis. Off hand though I'd guess
that Greenland is more expensive because of its remoteness. Of course
you could always go native and learn to eat raw seal meet. :-)

We spent an afternoon in a colorful little town in south western
Greenland called Qaqortoq. With a population of 3,089 it is the
fourth largest city and has no roads in or out, just a heliport and a
decent harbor.

If he wants to talk to Americans, let him do the translatin.

Except for the few Americans who wanted to continue living in the dark
ages, we'd be totally on the metric system now like the rest of the
civilized world. It will happen eventually anyway but it's taking a
lot longer than it should have. Some of the arguments presented
against converting were right out of the lunatic fringe.

When teaching and the kids complained about fractions, I'd ask them to tell their parents to urge
Congress to go completely metric. Why we haven't is beyond me. It is so much simpler.

The reason why we're not metric is because ignorant dumfochs argued
that it was some sort of communist plot to make them buy new tools and
form a "one-world" government. No joke.
