On the Seventh day.

WOW.

Unlike not so long ago people these days are reluctant to predict weather changes, at least the ones I speak to.
No one is willing to come out and say, "it will clear off tomorrow". You get more like "I hear it may clear", or "they say it will clear", or "do you think it will clear". Nothing definitive like days yore.

So it comes as some what of a surprise to see at least a 1500 ft ceiling with no fog and reasonable visibility this morning.
That's not to say it will stay like that.

Get them boarding passes out every one, I know a couple of ladies in Hopedale who will be relieved, not that there is anything wrong with Hopedale.

Serotine to the flights:
Nain is getting direct flights from GB, not so lucky for the folks in other communities so far, still down and miserable mostly, even GB is down now, but they have that big airstrip and controls.

This story caught my eye, particularly this line; Waste beer is the beer that's lost during packaging, or which is considered substandard.
From my exposure to American beers our fuel shortages are over.

Back to reality; The price for fuels has been 'unfrozen' down Southern Labrador. They have the same price for fuels as us in the Winter, with the ice clearing before ours they go up before us. [which raises some interesting questions].
So stove oil [at the tank farm] has gone up 34.79 cents a liter down there. Given that, I just saved about $180.00 bucks by filling my tank yesterday.
