 WE> Yes, and cabbage keeps well.
 DM> Root vegetables do fine.  
Cabbage, beets, parsnips, turnips, carrots.  Hm.  Ought to go well with elk.
 DM> First Nations folk call us
 DM> "White Man" and think we, foolishly, throw away all the best parts of
 DM> fish/game we harvest. I reckon they are probably right.  :)
Gosh, what are the best parts?  Fish heads, eyeballs?  Sure are wasteful us 
palefaces.  Likely we'd find appetite for such if pressed with stringent 
living conditions.
 
 DM> Our snow has been light this year; much too light.  I dread next
 DM> summer if the doesn't increase within the next two months or
 DM> so. 
Dread?  Why?  Swarms of mosquitoes?  Greenhouse effect is everywhere.  We've 
had a dry winter also.
 
 WE> Err, no thanks, the most I ever seen is 8 F.
 DM> Hmm ... I do not see any negatory indicator preceding that "8 F"; am I
 DM> to SUPPOSE, then, that that "8" represents a pository integer (ie,
 DM> suppository number)?  This morning (Jan 12/98) it is a balmy -20C.  +8F
 DM> OR C would be a gorgeous spring day.  :)
Well it was below zero C, now wasn't it?  Three days of 20 F and four inches 
of snow.  45 F today and slop all about.
Quebec has taken quite a beating, even worse that the USA east coast.
