Ladies and Gentlemen......

We have....OPEN WATER!!

The icebreaker cut a channel into the dock (made out of ice...of course), and the winds lately have blown the ice chunks apart to reveal THE OCEAN!! There are reports of whales (orcas) surfacing there!

Now there are boats and whales where a couple months ago my plane touched down....

All the electrical workers inventorying decaying chunks of urethane pipe-insulator in giant wooden boxes say YAY!!

(we have a nice view from our boxes though..)
