Ok, get this:

That's MINUS 29 DEGREES CELSIUS here at my college, just north of Minneapolis.
Add windchill, and we're popped down into the -40 degree range.

And here is weather for Juneau, Alaska.
PAJN 301653Z 33003KT 10SM SCT039 BKN047 OVC070 M09/M12 A2967 RMK AO2 SLP048 THN SPTS INOVC T10891117

That was Barrow Point, Alaska. The NORTHERNMOST POINT of the United States, CLOSEST to the NORTH POLE! And it's a pathetic minus 18 degrees Celsius!!

Hmmm.... did I just hear Luke volunteering for Alaska duty?

:heheh:

[Captain Geoff]

[The Boss]

"Hrm."

<sound of phone being dialed>

...

"Hey, Peggy! How's things in balmy Valdisease?"

...

"Wow, that's practically subtrobical. Let's hear it for global warming, hey?"

...

"No, I don't think Darby has been served with that subpoena. I rather think he'll manage to avoid it. I was talking to Dianne the other day and she said..."

....

"Ha! You're kidding me, right?"

...

"And they really want a PGA pilot?"

....!

"Of course, it's fitting, seeing as a PGA pilot brought him there to start with. But where'd they get the idea for..."

...

"Oh Peg... you're genuinely evil! Okay, well, since that's what they want, that's what they'll get..."

...?

"Nah, I have the PERFECT candidate for you. Remember Luke?"

...

"Yeah, that's the one. He was whining something about the temperature in Minnesota being colder than Alaska..."

...

"I know that and you know that, but let's not tell him that, okay? Anyway, he's your man. I'll toss the Elbonians an extra doughnut and see if they can't get him to go supersonic on the flight up."

...

"Yep. Give me a call if he gives you any guff about it, okay?"

...

"All right. Talk at ya later."
