In five minutes you probably ought to find something to make fire and keep it going through the night if possible, as this time of year the shores of Lake Wobegon are going to be a little chilly. If that isn't viable (everything covered in two feet of snow), then dig in, bundle up, and wait for first light. Good luck. If you have something to wrap up in packed in that PSK, now might be the time to deploy it if you can't get busy making fire. I hope you've been watching "Survivorman" lately (Boreal Forest episode would be appropriate I think).

In the meantime, we'll light a candle for you down at the OLPR parish, toast you down at the Sidetrack, and give a big oof dah if you don't come through this one. After all, you are above average, aren't you? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

BTW, if you see Mr. Keillor, see if he can write you a happy ending.
