Plus they have to deal with the cold and the snow for half the year.  That 
would be depressing.  Ask gene what the weather is like here right now.  I 
have my doors and windows open to cool (no breeze).  I jus checked the temp 
on the computer, says 69 degrees.  The people in Finland are attrctive, but I 
wouldn't want to live in icy weather ....bobford
