Time will tell if either of us (or both) has made the right move.

We'll offer house, snowmobiles, ice-fishing equipment and 4wd vehicle. -40 is energizing. You may want to stay 3 months.

Wow! Such a generous offer! How will Westernskies be able to resist? Why don't you throw in free booze for the duration of stay? He's gonna need it to stay warm.

Hey, that's heating by ethanol, a clean alternative energy! Yes?

Absolutely! - How about this weekend?-you can help us move in! We have to be out of our current house by Monday, and could use the help...

You know what they say about friends helping you move...

1. Friends will help you move
2. Good friends will help you move twice
3. Really good friends will help you move a body...
