Geez, Stan, it's hard to have it both ways, you know.

I spent 30 years up in Alaska in "Valleys' unpeopled and still".

I spent one winter in a valley off the Yukon River one year, me and some
other folk, and it got so cold we lost the sound. We all thought we had
"gone deef in the ear". couldn't hear a thing. Lasted the rest of the
winter. Then in the early spring we got a Chinook wind blowing warm.
Things began to thaw and it got real noisy - a roar like a lot of folks
in a football stadium. All that winters talk and all had begun to thaw
out all at one time, and we got to hear what we said back in the winter.

Yep, time for warm southern winters, I sez.
