Should you not say "were" or "reformed"?

Incidentally, a 750 ml (26 oz.) bottle of Lambs is $20.45.

The problem is that you won't find any comparables in the southern
hemisphere.  Even southern Chile and Argentina are only about 58ø south
latitude.

Isolation might be a factor but the Yukon has a good all-weather highway
out and twice-daily 737 service in the winter.  I still think that short
days and rotten weather has something to do with it.

Take care,
