Haha, naw I mean actually under the ground, down in the mines, hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll start doing that, now that my underground orientation is done......

I'm not a miner...I'm an Exploration Assistant with Inco, there's a technical name for us, geophysical technician or something like that, I'm not too sure if that's it or not, but exploration assistant is easier to remember.

We go underground to do gyros on holes that are drilled, laser collars, all kinds of weird things. We just have to have our respirators with us, just in case anything happens, so hopefully I won't need it down there.

...dunno where that is, sir! Numerous caves, no mines. I could drive to Soudan, but it's supposed to be -40 in Ely tomorrow or the next day - I don't wanna do there.

Wee bit chilly, where'd laughing out loud go?
...you must be well- insulated... If you're 7++km north of Winnipeg, you're wtf north. -Don't freeze to death, sir.

The powers-that-be almost cancelled the St. Paul Winter Carnival's Torchlight Parade for tonight. Due to the public's outcry, they only made it shorter... ...at least cold climates have the benefit of freezing unhealthy microbes? And that which does not kill us makes us stronger.
