Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Nuff about the cold weather.

I have a link to Fredericksburg Tx at right, I do not know much about Texas except what I learnt watching Texas Ranger movies, and the fact there seems to be a lot of aliens there taking all the low paying jobs.

Any way, had a nice surprise just this week, re contact with some nice folk who live down that way now.

We first met Marlene and Tom about 25 years ago. Marlene was a geology student at a US Uni. Marlene along with her class and a Prof. were in Labrador doing some field work, Tom tagged along for a bit of a holiday.
At the time I was working with a Labradorite project here, so met them through that. There was a bit of an issue with accommodations and the group were unhappy with the situation, so we offered Marlene and Tom a room at our place for several days.

We have kept in touch since, except for a brief break last year or so. They have moved several times in the 25 years and seemed to have settled just outside Fredericksburg on an old farm. Living the ideal rural life it seems, feeding cows, cutting wood, shooting deer, sitting by the fire in +3c chilly weather.
