Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Did I call it or what? The local colleges gave the kids the day off yesterday to go sandbagging. It's almost like a local pastime here. Anyone who's ever suffered through a spring up here in the tundra can tell you their sandbagging story.

Guy- "Oh so you went to school up north?"
Other Guy- "Yup. The first spring I was there, the flood was so bad that..."

Don't worry. He has a separate bunch of stories for each year he spent up here. And that's the way the cookie crumbles.

And of course, a very happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone. I am not a bit of Irish but I know better than to leave the house without wearing green today or especially tonight. Sending everyone a bit of luck!
