This morning as Ballads and Banjos ended at 8am. the temperature
outside my window was -7
Celcius that is. That would be 19.4 F. (http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm)
F to C Multiply by 9, Divide by 5, Add 32
C to F first deduct 32, Multiply by 5 then Divide by 9
As of yesterday: Canadian Dollars 1.0000
US 1.2408
10 US bucks will get you $12.41 Canadian
So go and visit! Exchange is in our favor. How far would it be?
In Miles? 480 to Toronto - 320 to Montreal
But they use Kilometers
kilometres to miles multiply miles by 0.6214
20 miles Liberty to Jeff, or 12.4 kilos

At the last North East Folk Alliance, held here in Monticello's Kutsher's Resort, the folk community took up a collection to help to ease the pain of coping with the returning cancer of Rachel Bissex; to ease the pain and to show we were thinking of her. She lost that fight last week. Here are her words in a letter she wrote around that time: " I have raised two incredible humans, who are now both adults. No matter how many days I have left on the earth, I will be working on being kind, and being grateful, for all the wonderful years and memories Steve and I and the kids, and you and I have made together.
Look at your own life, and know that your days are numbered too, you just haven't gotten told about it so treat each day and each person as if it's the last time you'll see them, as if they were the most precious thing. Please email someone else you know, someone who needs a friend, someone who may need to hear that you love them. That will be a gift to me. Love, Rachel
