More Yin Yang

The English River-Raith-Upsala Force Field Effect (henceforth known as ERRUFFE) has spread its tentacles into the new year. My research shows that the increase in traffic collisions is due to magnetic hyper activity caused by a cosmic collision between Aurora Borealis and El Nino. The resulting gamma rays triangulate through the ice crystals that form over the swamps around Upsala, and cause erratic traffic behaviour.

The great thing about having sole ownership of a blog, is that you get to fabricate scientific research on the spot, without the usual decades of hard work. Be that as it may, the dark side of winter continues to crop up. To counteract the the quasi-Bermuda Triangle effect of ERRUFFE, I recommend attaching a row of rare earth magnets across the hood of your car. Alternately, you could get plenty of rest, focus on the road, and avoid driving in blizzards. Slowing down has been proven to counter the effects of ERRUFFE as well. Whatever method you choose, drive safely out there and wear your seat belt. You don't want to see the dark side of winter.

On the bright side of winter, Phillip turned 16 on Sunday. He celebrated by inviting his friends over to build a quinzhee.

Here are the girls working hard inside . . .

. . . and the boys pretending to work hard on the outside.

Also on the bright side, Phillip has joined the Upsala Fire Department. Due to a special agreement with the Office of the Fire Marshal (and our desperate need for firefighters), 16 year olds can join under special conditions.

As you can see, he was brainwashed from an early age.

We need all the help we can get out here in the peripheral edge of the universe. . .
