Arctic Adventure

-

What an adventure! 28 below zero -- with windchills coming in around 50 below farenheit!
School's cancelled and the kids are going outside to play. The whole town rejoices in the arctic experience which gives us bragging rights, proving just how hardy these northwoods folks can be.
I heard that if you tossed a cup of boiling water in the air in temperatures like this, it immediately evaporates into a cloud of ice crystals.
We tried it -- and it WORKS!!

    It's not that cold. On the Channel 6 news last night, they showed a photo of a thermometer in Babbitt, MN at -53. :0

    ONCE when we lived there it got 53 below with a chill factor of 85 below. We played out that day in the afternoon too - - - for a while.

    I had heard about the sublimation of water at that temperature - - - and WISHED I'd known about it way back when I could have TRIED it.

    Thanks for the experiment. I have enjoyed it TREMENDOUSLY vicariously.

    Also - - - I had been WONDERING if Hayward was out of school today.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
