Here's a little ice to cool down the Arizona hot spots.

Did you take this picture, CD?

Yup. It's taken from the beach in Holyrood, Newfoundland when a
northeast wind had driven the ice ashore. It sat around for a couple
days and hasn't been back.

I see. You were probably glad to see it go. Is it true that many
Newfoundlanders are cheered by the appearance of icebergs, because it
means that spring is on its way?


Heh. Icebergs are a mixed blessing. They're beautiful to watch but if a
few get stuck off the narrows, a northeast wind can be brutal. We can
get bergs as late as July.

In the last two or three years, the number of bergs have been
incredible. Hundreds float by. I drove out to Bonavista and there were
dozens everywhere I looked. Everyday now, people are talking about bergs
off different parts of the Avalon.

A gift from the fast melting glaciers of Greenland.


We haven't been to Holyrood but did go past south of it on the TCH a
couple of times. 4 to be exact.


It's a beautiful spot on a hot sunny day.
