[TheForge] OT snowfall

[Grant Marcoux]

Stephen:   How do you like living in Finland?  I have heard that the Finns
are the least talkative people on earth, unless drunk.

Very little is known of Finland in most parts of the US, except the Midwest
states, where many settled.

I'm a big admirer of the Puukko-styled knife.  I know a little about Finnish
history of the WW2 period, but nothing about the culture.

Peacocks sound like someone is torturing cats. The sound carries quite a
  distance.
