   lol, so…… a warmer climate is a milder climate……but we knew that already. As evidenced by the lack of hurricanes for the last decade or so.

     Don’t be ridiculous. People vacation in Winnipeg because of the mild climate.

   I am certain that, were he alive today, Casey would be able to describe the “Team” as well as ever he did.

   Greenland Vikings traveled between Greenland and America harvesting lumber for 300 years. Their route was north along the coast crossing over in calmer water and a shorter distance between land. Ice was not a problem then; it would be today. The more direct route in the open ocean of the North Atlantic was hazardous for their cargo ships.

   Before being banished from Iceland, Eric was banished from Norway for killing someone. They didn’t have a death penalty even then.
