Makes sense... :)

Now that you mention it, I've heard of double-paned windows. I guess it
makes sense from an energy-savings standpoint.

Where in canada do you live?  I'm in Edmonton now, winters are nasty
here, but summer doesn't seem too bad.  I moved out here from new
brunswick, and the summers there were worse... up to forty with the
humidex, but the winters were a bit milder because i always lived in a
city with a river in the middle.  (Fredericton with the St. John River,
and Miramichi with the Miramichi river)  In fact, we lived across the
street from the waterfront for the last year we lived in Miramichi.
Sarah and I spent a lot of time hanging out over there on the grass.
She would play with her friends from the neighborhood who also played
there, and i'd spread out a blanket and read a book.  Winters got down
to -40 only maybe three or four days out of the year.  Here in Edmonton,
you get a cold snap of -40 for up to a couple of weeks at a time...
brrrrrr!!!!  Summers rarely go over 30 degrees though, and its rarely humid.

It's the only group of its kind. I think its success is based on its
uniqueness. It seems to go over very well abroad. 'What are those crazy
Finns up to now?' ;o)
