Hello Brentwood,These pics were taken yesterday and I'm sending them along so that you'll know that you're not alone when it comes to winter.I've been thinking about you alot...all of the indoor recesses you've been having...the added stress on students and staff.It was only -10 yesterday,but with that strong north wind howling up the Strait....In the top pic,that dark line is the open water in the Strait.The pack ice is beginning to break up.Soon it will be spring.
I had been planning a trip this spring to Egypt-Turkey and Israel,but with all the unrest over there I've put it on the back burner.I'm planning a road trip this fall,driving the southern perimeter of the U.S. and then up to the Grand Canyon continuing on up into Alberta and celebrating Thanksgiving there.So maybe I'll pop in for a visit.
