Snow in the Forecast

Note to self: look up the weather forecast in Labrador.

JR has had some cool and rainy weather, but it actually vacillated between snow and sleet today. Apparently helicopters work well in the weather, but get grounded when the winds blow upwards of thirty knots? mph? kph?

Whatever.

In other news, the fishing is brilliant there and he was able to acquire and cook some fresh cod. My experience in cod lies entirely with fish sticks dipped in catsup as a Friday staple--which means I totally abhor cod in any way, shape or form. He enjoyed his fish dinner and I'm glad I'm several thousand miles away.

I'm delighted that they have solved their eating dilemna. They return from the field around five each afternoon, however eating establishments and grocery stores close around 6 p.m. (or earlier if business is slow). I'm all in favor of closing up early and going home to the family and a nice dinner, but it's inconvenient for them after a long day in the field. I think they'll find that cooking for themselves actually saves them time and tastes better than the golden arches.

Lunch is totally easy since they are happy taking a sandwich and some crackers with them. Also, blueberry bushes grow as low as grass there and blueberries lie about for the taking and munching upon. Now that I could get jealous about, especially since I just paid seven dollars at Costco for a nice little bunch of them. I'd rather eat blueberries than chocolate!

Well, off to Google his location and find out about extended weather forecasts and other Canadian trivia.
