Other then a bit of

running around later this morning, my weekend is more or less open.

It's so cold out there right now, we've got ice crystals in the air or ice fog. Ice fog during winter isn't that unusual in the evening or overnight. I've seen it during the day a few times during my 35 years here but not many

Coast has another lame topic this evening: Human development. They're also talking about current events and constitutional rights. Some boring shows on this week. Coast has only one good show next week: UFOs & Covert Programs.

I was reading this fascinating article in i09 about the fate of the Vikings in Greenland. I recall when I was with the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) here in Edmonton we had a few members in our Shire of Borealis that had Viking persona's. Ok getting back to the topic. The question is, what prompted the Vikings after 500 years in Greenland to finally move back to their mother country? Some speculate that it was disease or at the time of the 10th Century thee Vikings were mostly farmers as weather conditions back then were different then in recent years. So what made the Vikings leave Greenland? Was it disease? Trade? Or something else? Here's a link to the rest of the story

Not much going on at the moment, just reading watching a bit TV and some music production that sort of thing. It's going to be a lame weekend but I do have a few things going on. Anyway, that's about all for now.
