SH> Hello All!

Hello Steve... good picture on FRAPPER/FIDO... always wondered what a polar
bear like you looked like :)

 SH> Does the fact that we are having a bizarre winter in the Yukon have
 SH> anything to do with the absence of any posts in this echo?

 SH> Inquiring minds want to know!

Define "bizzarre"!

Here, on Christmas eve, it is over 40f in New York... was thinking about
having a Christmas Bar-B-Que but the *RAIN* stopped me from it.

Hmmmm... "I'm dreaming of a (?)wet(?) Christmas".

Seems the climate is changing everywhere.  We were warned about it decades
ago that I remember, but it was all said to be a "hoax"...
doesn't seem to be much of a hoax now.

Ever since I was in my teens I have had this urge to one day spend a month
in the Alaskan wilderness... As a middle aged going to old dude status I
still have this urge.

I spent alot of time researching exactly where I would go, and in the
course of that have seen comparitive photos of the same areas in the
"up north" that show something we shouldn't be seeing... you know
what I mean?  The glacier ice is receeding, and at a rapid pace. Even
though for a few years us in the lower areas have been seeing a change in
the cycles of the weather it seems that where you are has been showing it
for a lot longer and we are just starting to feel it now.

Judging by your frapper/fido photo, I would venture to guess that you have
been around long enough to have an authoritive oppinion on this by
experience.  Do you have any insight on the subject that you would care to
share?  Enquiring mooks like me may like to know :)

Phil
