Whew, what a relief!

I'm so glad that's over with. The whole issue was becoming quite heated, you know.

{Snicker. Did you see the funny there?}

Personally, given the almost total lack of sunspot activity in recent months, I've been looking around Texas for any likely winter sport locales. I have to say that there are a real dearth of ski-able slopes in this state. Langlaufen of course, and biathelon-type events should be natural options.

Although, Lake Towakani ought to offer some real ice boating challenges, I think. Broad, shallow water reaches with numerous tree stump stick-ups to add spice to the event. Particularly in the early years, when you'll never quite be certain of the weather or how deep the ice really is.

There's always something to look forward to, you know? Especially now that that whole "doomsday" thing is over with.

Thanks Al Fin!
