Not always cheap - maybe half the list price, though sometimes less - and the selection could be better, but I always manage to find stuff anyway! Here's the link just in case:<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.saintgeorgesbookshop.com/Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770069472552779217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375681131276548542.post-3512611735086883632007-09-21T21:54:00.000+00:002007-09-21T21:54:00.000+00:00JD -- "Mr. Popper's Penguins" rings a bell, but if...JD -- "Mr. Popper's Penguins" rings a bell, but if I have read it I must have done so a very long time ago. Anyway, yes, if a postpolar subletter cannot be found I could look for kit suitable for a live-in refrigeration unit.<BR/><BR/>Lee -- I think your daughter (and son) would like this place.

He ends up building a sort of ice rink in his basement, at least as far as I remember. If you do not find the ideal Antarctic subletter you might invest in some very high-tech clothing, it is amazing what some of that cold-weather gear will do for you nowadays (also I was just reading a slightly foolish shopping article in the New Yorker about those disposable chemical handwarmers).Jenny Davidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295436498255927522noreply@blogger.com
