Also, cold as hell

Apropos of nothing, found on CNN.com: The Heart of Acadia:

Bucolic fields fill the landscape, and lazy cows cut green swaths through a rainbow of wildflowers. White-sand beaches exchange brief, tidal embraces with the steel-blue ocean. Osprey nests top telephone poles, and salmon throng the rivers. The salty-sweet air can flush the city out of your lungs in a few deep breaths. This land gets into the bloodstream. You never want to leave. But if forced to, you, like the Acadians, will long to come back and build your house in stone. The type of flag you paint upon it is up to you.

Very true, but don't expect me to give up video games for ironmongering. Were I to truly monger, iron would not be the subject of my mongerings.

Heh. Monger.
That's some surprisingly lovely prose for cnn.com. Usually, cnn.com and I play the "find the typo!" game.

Not so much.

I like civilization. I like power and heat and video games. I would have been the kind of pioneer than turned back after a day and a half on the road.
