Black are the days of slate grey skies when there is no sun to fill my eyes blacker still, were I among the northern Inuit when to shorter seasons there are briefer summers in the Artic chill... But the Inuit folklore is full of survival stories passed down orally from one generation to the next that brightens the blackness of long arctic nights supplies chances to appreciate why they're here that their cousins in sweltering Lower Quebec can look on with envy. But no, their cousins will refuse to travel north to live in the permafrost and Arctic chill life is convenient in the urban sprawl seasons still change, however awkwardly and the blackness of night on ice floes is subdued by a blackness of character fit for the competitiveness of market scenes... as cell-phone ways remove a reason for being.

Martin, This is flawless. I have been reading of this very subject and the irony is portrayed quite nicely. Beautiful writing. |

Linda, I didn't just want to end it with the cell phone bit but it came to mind when thinking of something I do well without.. |
