We soft English are not used to really cold weather. But it was only minus 10. They told me it gets to minus 40 in February! I dont know if I could cope with that lol
-40? Yeah, to hell with that. Unless the entire day and night was spent in a thick sleeping bag next to a roaring fire perhaps. I bet those cold clear nights gave you some great views of the night sky though?
"We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam." - Carl Sagan, 11th February 1996
