Oh, I love snow. I even love shoveling it. For now, anyway. Ask again in March.

8 inches? Wow. I still think my idea about putting a ring of mirrors and other glass around your property so that the sun's rays are optimized could solve all of your snow problems. Like a big solar oven :-)

It's never too late. In Pollan's book, he writes
about a study done on
Australian aborigines. They had moved into villages and
adopted a Western
lifestyle; type 2 diabetes was rampant. The investigator
took a few people
(10? 15?) with diabetes and put them back 'in the
wild' for 7 weeks. They
had to find their own food, as their people had until they
'Westernized'. At
the end of 7 weeks, they showed remarkable improvement in
all the things
they measured....blood sugat, glucose tolerance,
triglycerides, etc. Some
had 'normal' readings. He doesn't say what
happened next; I suspect they
went back to being Westernized. An alternate lifestyle
isn't easy to
maintain, but it's a good lesson that we can take
responsibility for our own
health.

fresh snow.
