Heya!

One of the search trawlers for news came back with this, earlier today.

http://www.cbc.ca/story/science/national/2005/07/21/Ellesmere-map050721.html

I figure you've probably already heard about it, obviously, but why risk it? ;)

Yeah, I saw that! Isn't it cool? It's too bad that they're doing it to get at the oil and gas reserves but I guess that's how you fund science these days, eh?

Lorna

P.S. What kind of name is Nunavut anyway?

Well, anyone going along would probably end up being able to gather more than just that data, since I'm guessing "there is fuel here, we want it!" isn't geologically sound data?

Alison

P.S. I would have to say, local. Or maybe it's the word for igloo, what do I know?

Of course. Can't look too much like greedy corporate bastards.

...I want to go. I wonder if the university would consider sponsoring a trip or something.

Lorna

P.S. It sounds like they just gave up. "What part of this is actually useful to us?" "Nunavut."

Of course you want to go. You can ask when you get there, right? (Deserter.)

Alison

P.S. ...google is my friend. It means "our land".

Yeah. My advisor will know.

(Am not! Have you seen my sunglasses?)

Lorna

P.S. Too much Firefly for the Canadians, I think. "We will rule over this land, and we will call it, 'This Land'."

Subject: Ha. So you say. Gimme proof now.

Let me know? Now I'm curious. And if you're going to run off instead of stick around for Spa Day again... Pbhhht!

(Hrm. Depends. Which ones? I might have borrowed more than one pair, y'know.)

Alison

P.S. Or rather the Inuit? Oh wait, lemme google "meaning Canada" now just to make sure. :p

We have to get this nailed down and this is the best weekend for it!

(The blue ones with all the UV protection.)

Lorna

P.S. Oh, wait, I know this one! It's um...village?

Subject: So how do you know they're there?

Sure. Miss the monthly set in stone Spa Day. FINE. See if I care! I'll just have more manicure time to myself, nyah! (Yes, you're missing your mani/pedi. Pbhhht!)

(...ok, we're down to three pairs. Gimme more details.)

Alison

P.S. Bingo! You win the trip to whereever and no pedi/mani! ;) And yeah, that and also "settlement" or "collection of huts". Go Wikipedia!

This was the only weekend I could convince Scott that he didn't utterly need me to run scary drills. Or something.

(You know! Dark blue, kinda shimmery?)

Lorna

P.S. I repeat, Canadians are weird.

Uh huh. Sure. I see the drill schedule too, missy.

(OH! Yeah, those are in my purse. And now? I hold them for hostage! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! Bring me back a tacky souvenir and you can have the glasses!)

Alison

P.S. Can't argue. Have you heard about the winters there?

Shh, just pretend.

(You can't hold them hostage! They're my favorite pair and I need them for Hawaii)

Lorna

P.S. You mean September through May?
