“Well, not really. Some places are still blocked in Russia. However. weather & climate changes have caused human migrations and adaptations in history. One can only begin to wonder at what changes a clear circumpolar route will allow. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6995999.stm” 8:10:38 AM 9/15/07 “more arguments brought on by shrinkage...” 8:19:21 AM 9/15/07 “yikes. Â What would Amundsen think?” 8:53:14 AM 9/15/07 “hey, there's not shrinkage in a sleeping bag. . . I'm not worried. . . the contrast between the cold outside and the warm in the bag'll make it even . . . err . . . . uhhh . . . . better.” 8:54:58 AM 9/15/07 “LOL!” 9:02:31 AM 9/15/07 “this is great! now we don't have to clear a route for cruise ships! imagine the vacation packages... wow!” 10:40:59 AM 9/15/07 “Alaska, and canada via the actic circle out of NYC.

Never pee'd on an iceberg; exposure of those parts was saved for the occasional passing Navy ship.” 1:32:31 PM 9/16/07 “What's the deal Nimblefoot, don't you respect the troops?” 2:16:06 PM 9/16/07 “Never been a flag waver.” 2:50:30 PM 9/16/07 “Show 'em half staff, huh??” 2:55:54 PM 9/16/07 “It's funny about that flag waving stuff; you either carry it in your heart or you don't. Waving and hollering don't change much.” 3:51:38 PM 9/16/07 “Yup, waving the flag doesn't do much more than fray the edges. Then the flag-waver would have to buy another U.S. flag made in China from Walmart.” 3:53:10 PM 9/16/07 “ Don't put it down.... Best one a-round.... Crazy for the red, blue and white Crazy for the red, blue and white You look at me What do you see?
