I'll be "out of pocket" for another week...

I'll be going to Montana, wildnerness camping for the next week with my son who lives in Bozeman. As access to the net will be extremely limited at best I won't be able to blog for another week at least. However, I leave the Ice Palace in the capable hands of Richard, along with another member who has been trying to join the team for quite some time now.. hopefully the Blogger gods will smile kindly upon him and allow him to do so once and for all. Nauti by Nature, a Canadian who is highly involved in political circles there, will soon become a regular contributor to the Ice Palace. The Ice Palace extends a warm welcome to him!
