My clothes are packed, the electronics are charged, my memory cards are static-free and the bags of snacks for the plane are ready to go. I'll be picking up a prescription tonight from Dr. Jim for some sea-sickness patches "just in case". The weather reports are a cool 20-40 with wind-chill taking it down further. I keep forgetting in my blogs to mention that we are sponsored by Tecero Wines (Larry - so nice of you to underwrite the trip). You can pick up the latest Tecero wine at http://www.tercerowines.com/ "If you want something to keep you toasty warm at night, pour a big old glass of Tercero Red and hunker down".
My other brother, Gary, who lives in France has asked me to do an experiment he feels the French government would find beneficial. He has asked me to find a spot in the Arctic and spell his name while urinating on the permafrost. He is extremely interested to see at what temperature the urine, while spelling his name, would freeze. I am presently seeking an underwriter for this experiment, so if any of you are interested in this experiment, and it's findings, (besides Gary and/or the French government) please let me know. I have already turned down proposals from various pharmaceutical companies including "the going" drug for guys. I also seek to undertake my own experiment to see if, while peeing the names of my other brothers, the temperature of freezing may differ.
