Nathan,
As usual,  you have left a good sense of place and a view in to places most
of us will never get too.  I also like your "deck" chairs in the snow.  Mine
came off the Queen Mary and they are pretty comfortable even without a
cushion.  Unfortunately, here in the U.S. sunny south, the deck is only
fully useable thirty or forty days a year between heat, mosquitoes, rain,
and winter chills.

Thanks for showing us all a peak into your world.
