 CB> yellowknife (had to look that one up

We're just a bit to the right of Fairbanks!

 CB> bet it does get pretty cold up there.

Most winters we'll hit -38 to -40 F at least once. The record low is
-60. Summer highs average 70 and the record is 90. That's only
happened twice in the past 40 years though. It was tolerable
though as the humidity was low; we have a cool semi-arid climate
here. I had to shovel much more snow back when I lived in Ottawa.

 CB> if the Colorado River system dries up ...

 CB> yea i know what you mean. not to mention with all the fires

That's a very dramatic presentation. Here's another thought
provoking article on the subject: https://tinyurl.com/colorado-water

 JW> I used to visit an American uncle and aunt of mine who retired
 JW> to Ormund Beach, whenever I could before they passed away.

 CB> yea technically im in ormond

 Yeah I checked it and it was Ormond.

 CB> sorry to hear about your aunt/uncle

Not to worry. They were over 60 when they moved there and I was 12
the first time we visited them, 60 years ago. I returned a couple
times during spring break in my college years but that was the last
time.

 CB> you should try mongolian. now THAT's interesting for sure.

Are you talking about the so-called Mongolian BBQ restaurants (the
concept was invented by a restaurant guy in Taiwan who gave it a
fanciful name) or the real thing?

 CB> weird thing is, it's pretty much just a stir-fry

Ah, the modern Taiwan restaurant version. It's undoubtedly tastier than
the real thing.
