Lots of snow and ice. People were just miserable but I was loving it. All that insane snow and freezing wind makes me motivated. I think I wouldn't complain much about the weather in Niceland. If I could find a brave soul to go with me to Iceland I'd already have been there. Much easier to deal with the crazy prices with two or more people. But the locals here think I'm nuts and so far nobody wants to go with me. grrr. and speaking of crazy weather, this past winter was pretty wild too. Lots of snow and ice.

Nice to hear from you. That wet weather I hear about in San Fran is what we've been getting up here although ours tends to be violent storms every few evenings. We had yet another major thunderstorm last night. The heat, I hear you on that, I'm a Viking at heart and don't handle the heat very well. I'm happier with this wild weather we've had this summer. Being in the 70s for a high all summer has been a real treat. Today is a rare day with bright sun all day and 80 (if I can still calculate F from C). Tickets, oof, that has been a problem. I've moved twice this year and can't seem to get the debts down enough. Catch-22 all around. But I'm close. My blood is really yearning. I've never been so certain of a place that I've never actually been to as I am about Iceland. I'm not looking with rose colored glasses, I just think my heart belongs there. Most folks go for the 'dry heat' in their old age but I've been moving toward the colder climates for decades and am ready to make the leap up 'to 66'. (ish). Hello again Terry.

I'm referring to the heat, which this past few years has been insane. Iceland still sounds like a dream to me (your blog is aptly named) and I never give up hope that I'll live there one day - even if only for part of the year. Did you get your tickets yet? :) I’m sure your weather in Canada is much nicer at times than here in the bay area near San Francisco.

We'll never get widely available alternative energy until fleets and in particular government fleets take a lead. What if they simply ran those thousands of postal delivery trucks on green? Busses, garbage trucks, so many things are powered by fossil fuels and are much easier to covert than Joe Sixpack's SUV. Oh but it will cost money? Yeah, so what? It costs money now and is starting to cost us a fortune not to mention the long term costs. Start now and let's get a move on. My kids will thank you. Bravo Iceland!

I have a step son that is handicapped. My fince happens to be paralyzed from chest down. Do to the fact some kid blew a stop sign and hit him while he was on his bike. He didnt ask to be that way. No body ever does. But its something that he has to deal with for the rest of his life. Just like everyone else does. Why make there life harder then what it already has been. Your driving down the road or even walking, You could get hurt. You wake up one morning and descover something is wrong and go to the docs. He comes and tells you you have cancer. You need to stop and think about all these kids who have a desease that is unexplanable. You think they asked for it. How about the parents who do drugs and mess there babys up. Do you think they asked for it. Do u think they ask for aids, cancer, or any of that. NO they dont it just happens. Handicapps are still people to just need more love then others. I guess if you dont have it in you you just dont have it. God for bid anything happen to you or a love oned that loves to go swimming and someone puts you in the same situation.You need JESUS!

]]> Comment on The Lonely Swimming Pool by Terry http://iceland.intracore.com/2008/02/18/the-lonely-swimming-pool#comment-1317 Terry Thu, 01 May 2008 23:27:24 +0000 http://iceland.intracore.com/2008/02/18/the-lonely-swimming-pool#comment-1317 The funeral was solemn, but the music was hauntingly beautiful. Hymns were sung by an all male choir, and the Icelandic words sounded nice. It was much like a regular church service funeral here. Then we went out in the rain to put the casket into the ground. After that we all went to one of the son's home, where all (there were many generations of cousins, kids, grandparents, etc.) the relatives gathered for a huge buffet table of food and drinks and visited all the rest of the afternoon. A very nice affair. I hated coming home, as usual. The funeral was solemn, but the music was hauntingly beautiful. Hymns were sung by an all male choir, and the Icelandic words sounded nice.
