[Coco] Fest Weekend

[James Hrubik]

Ah, memories.  Back in '77-'80, when I was teaching in Beauval SK, we  
went one whole month when the temperature didn't get above -35C.   
Humidity is everything, though.  Got back here to Ohio, and the same  
down coat that kept me warm in the bush could not keep me warm at  
0F.  Dry cold is much easier to take than this lake effect stuff.   
The place I would NOT want to be would be the east side of Lake  
Michigan or Lake Huron, or UP Michigan.

Gene, up there in the bush, the guys would get their dozers running  
(diesels) by building a fire under the oil pan.
