Welcome to all the new subscribers to the list, and I just wanted to extend an extra welcome to those of you joining from Europe. Paddlewise has always had a pretty international flavor (or flavour), but seems to have become even more worldly lately. Having spent close to 10 years living in Europe (Vienna), I really appreciate the non US-centric viewpoint. The US can sometimes be a big lumbering beast and ignore the fact that not everyone speaks English, measures distance in miles, and reads the temp in Fahrenheit, or lives in the northern hemisphere. Though because I live in Minnesota now, I'd like to point out that -40 is -40 everywhere. When possible, I'd love to see people convert their weights and temps. Maybe someone can point out a good utility somewhere on the net that make this easier. Now, let's discuss that Paddlewise foreign exchange program.... -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
