Oh yes, Mark Twain said once: "The coldest winter I ever spent, was a summer in Duluth"

Duluth being my hometown, is 170 miles north of Minneapolis. Actually summer in Minnesota is quite nice (70's 80's 90's) except for the mosquitoes which, Brian is correct, have a payload rating of several pounds. The metro area is fairly well treated for mosquitoes.

I would like to suggest perhaps multiple regional get togethers so that travel is not so expensive. While I would like to see everyone, I'd rather see us donate the travel expense money to the OCF.
