"If that ended up as the final spot for '06-'07, the red squirrels will certainly appreciate the addition of Burts "innards" to their nests..."
Don't worry, with the warm weather this season the squirrels have much better stuff to munch on, as well as stuffing to build their nests with.
Are people "that" depressed up there with the warm weather? I guess if I didn't have to drive to work each day and encounter absolutely IDIOT drivers when there was a dusting of snow on the roads, I could have some sympathy. But I guess if you decide to live year-round in the Northern Tundra you kinda expect it to snow. BTW, Winter will begin on Monday! Wait for it, it will come! It will last longer than than all the complainers will want it to! Ice Out will be May 1st this year.
