It’s very cold here this morning — current temperature is -22°C with a wind chill of -32°C:
It’s days like this that you can start to wonder why we choose to live in such an inhospitable place; if this was an episode of Star Trek, we’d be marvelling at the strange alien tribe of cold-dwellers and wondering what insanity led them to abandon their balmy cradle of humanity and head north.

Now the world knows why
Now the world knows why Islanders make such excellent moonshine! A few slugs of that when you come in from the cold will make your heart warm, regardless of the outside temperature!
