These guys really need a visit to the Midwest. (Must be > boring not to have seasons...) Seasons ain't the problem in understanding. We got seasons here in Colorado, no problem. (Sometimes they get a little mixed up, of course; we've already had our first three snows but the weather is beautiful and warm now--er, last time I looked it was...) The difference is that we mostly keep water in lakes/rivers/etc. and breathe air. Must be interesting to need gills back there in the Midwest, but if I never experience another winter near Lake Michigan I won't count it as a lost experience of my youth. Seriously, when you get to a dry climate you get to trade rusting tools for cracking/checking/warping wood. If anyone feels like posting some general notes on dealing with solid wood (i.e., not plywood) in the face of 5-10% relative humidity, I'd be interested. -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...At last it's the real thing...or close enough to pretend.
