Season 2

[Edmund Schweppe]

While I am on a small island in the middle of the North Atlantic.

My island resembles that remark...
Well, at least I would claim there's only one island in the *middle* of the NA.

Welcome! (Which island is yours, pray tell?)

I'll go back to lurking now.

Okay - but feel free to come on in. The water's fine. And the local denizens only bite on request.

[Edmund Schweppe]

Smaller island. Further from the middle.

Not that small. Martha's Vineyard has forests, and gas stations, and an airport, and all sorts of stuff that truly small islands don't.

[Elizabeth Bear]

You can walk across it in a few hours. *g* Small!

Welcome! (Which island is yours, pray tell?)

The one that has been rather too much in the financial news for the past year or so. Even in the US.

I'll go back to lurking now.

Indeed, so I've noticed. I do need to start tracking the various benches but right now I am so
not worrying. No. Really. I'm not. But can we skip straight to February anyway? Would also mean
skipping the short days up here, win-win.

Oh! That Island. OK then. 
(I love your island.)

Aw, but that'd mean missing so many nights of the aurora, wouldn't it?

*missing your island really much right now, presuming it's the island I'm thinking of*

[TheIslander]

(I love your island.)

Thank you! It is quite lovely, yes, and that doesn't go away.

*missing your island really much right now, presuming it's the island I'm thinking of*

Ah but you know that bit about how locals often miss/don't bother so much of what tourists
see? That one? *grin* yeah, i tend not to notice the auroras much.
