[at-l] Spring?

[bullard@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Jim Bullard)]

Thanks for the reminder, Icebeard. I am just suffering from 'cabin fever'.
I go through this ever winter and it gets worse as I get older. I would
never move to Florida. I don't like it that hot. OTOH I am really
considering moving a bit South in a few years when my wife can retire. I've
never cared for winter hiking and winters here, a stone's throw from the
Quebec border, are just toooooo looong. They start in mid Oct/early Nov and
hang around until mid/late April (in the mountains until May or early
June). Winter should last 3 months, not 5-6.
