Roller coaster

temperatures wise. Got up to +7 yesterday, now it is down to -10 with wind chill of -20, no wonder the dog is confused, wants to be out one minute, in by the heater the next.
I don’t mind really, only thing I worry about is these types of conditions drive the frost deeper into the ground. Now that we have regular snow clearing of the roads [only until the boats stop one hopes] this could cause freeze up issues in the water and sewer lines if we do not get some good dumps of snow before it gets really cold. Then we don’t know if it will get really cold do we so why worry, carry on, nothing to worry about here.

On the transport front the mv Northern Ranger is going to do an extra run north according to the Marine shipping update, leaving Goose Bay at midnight tonight. The mv Astron went straight to Natuashish from Cartwright, it was still in Natuashish yesterday afternoon so it could be there or here now for all I know. I am led to believe that another trip is scheduled for her as well.

While on the subject of not very well organized operations; a couple of things on Canada post. It looks like the folks down south are getting a taste of Canada Post ops that we get year after year. It took 15 days for me to get a package from St.John’s NL recently. That is standard, perhaps a little fast. In the past parcels from the states or the other side of the country regularly get here quicker than intra province, but according to this things may change.

I do not support NATO ops in Afghanistan, but I do support this petition below.

Dear Friends,
I have just read and signed the online petition: "SupportOurTroops" hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petitionservice, at: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/SOT/ I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and considersigning yourself.

If by “Remembrance day is fast approaching” they mean 2008 then it could be a doer.

Cartwrightlab [at right side bar] has some very nice photo of the day pictures on a regular basis. The latest chatter in the sound board is voicing concerns about the state of the NEW ROAD down that way, wonder what it will be like in a couple of years?

Update:
It's breathtakingly beautiful out. Like literally breathtaking walking into that -23 wind chill after the + 7 yesterday.
The Astron is in, not overly chaotic, the new office furniture for the NMC seems to be on board, the radio studio furniture does not seem to be, the #$@^%$)(*! ers.
