Many animals have been sacrificed for my family time over the past two weeks. I'm protein-ed and iron-ed up to the eyeballs. I think it's my family's way of lovingly preparing me for a year of uncertain future of bison steaks, dried moose and chicken shaped in a way that may not be found in nature.
However, there may be just as much validity in these concerns as the view my English students believed in 1994 when I told them I used to ride a kangaroo to primary school.
I'm not sure I can bring myself to eat reindeer though.... even if I don't believe in Santa, I think that would be enough to put me straight to the head of the naughty list. I might also have trouble explaining my past to my future children.

Or be sent to gaol. Do not pass Go. The Polar Bear gaol. That is at least true. The Polar Bear Gaol is in Churchill, Manitoba (Lonely Planet guide).
By comparison, it was more than 40 degrees today. I didn't perspire. It was so hot that I didn't get the chance. I dessicated instanteously on stepping outside. My car exceeded 55 degrees by sitting in the sun but at least summer has arrived.
Does this mean that winter has correspondingly arrived over there? I hope so, because I've found my ideal mode of transportation as above. Might be a bit slow but very pretty....

Correspondingly, it's about -36 with the windchill today. It's a frosty one!
