 GJ> get a couple of cheap, flat-bottomed tinnies.
 JW> It is not a common occurrence; it's happened twice since I arrived in
 JW> 1979, in 1998 and this year.
 GJ> So it happened after over 19 years apart, then 12 years.  Becoming
 GJ> more frequent!

 JW> Not frequently enough to maintain a dedicated fleet economically. My
 JW> Inuvik ranch and vinyard will be pay off sooner.

You will need those boats to export your fine rieslings to the rest of
the world.
 
 JW> Nobody else cares at this point, but just for the record:
 JW> Minimum runway for a Hercules C-130: 2600 feet
 JW> Hay River's runway where the herc loads up: 6000 feet
 JW> Yellowknife's runway where the loaded Herc lands and unloads: 7500
 JW> feet 

OK.  Thanks.  You have room to land a fleet of Hercs there.

 GJ> Shudder!  The thought of walking on top of a freezing cold lake with
 GJ> nothing under me but the stuff I use to make a drink cold is scary.

 JW> Put your engineer's hat on and check out the tensile strength of
 JW> wood, concrete, steel and ice!

The strengths of the first 3 items don't change much with temperature,
but ice does.  In fact, engineering tests which I have conducted on
various occasions have proved that ice spontaneously cracks when
subjected to sudden temperature changes, such as occur when test
specimens are suddenly surrounded by room temperature vodka.
