The big chill!

So I've been slacking on my blogging and apologize to all! Really, not much has been happening.

My furnace died again a couple of days ago! It was an easy, and again free, fix of a relay switch. Thank goodness it died before today and the next few days with -28 degree temps in the forecast! Not being willing to take any chances though, I have got 3 portable heaters, just in case. My theory; if you have 'em... you won't need 'em!

I still have the plague. I've canceled my trip to London for the weekend as everyone there has the flu and well... why ask for trouble?

I am terribly pissed at the Canadian Military truck contract being awarded to the USA as I think our tax dollars should be spent here, especially in times like this but... I'm just not in the mood to rant!

Try to stay warm!

2008 flu season

Looking at the people around me and how I've been feeling, that cartoon is right! I've just read that this year's shot only protects agains 40% of the strains circulating. The lowest percentage ever.

Ok, I have to go blow my nose now.

To help warm you up.

So no matter how bad you think it is here... Kugaaruk, Nunavut formerly known as Pelly Bay. (Oh and about 7 hours of daylight, from 8:30am to 3:30 approximately.)

Back away from the screen! I may be contagious...

Sniffing, sneezing, coughing, my head is going to explode and I think my eyes are going to pop out of my head ... but hey, other than that... life is grand!
