While stocking the other day an ember popped out and burned a good size hole in my North Face fleece jacket. Fortunately, there is a North Face store at a large outlet mall between where I live and NYC and I'll be traveling that way in a couple of weeks. Since I work at a large university in the northeast I get to see first hand what the fashion trends are for winter wear. At least at Cornell, North Face is *so* 2008 and has been recently superceded by Mountain Hardwear clothing. -- John Fereira Cornell University Twitter: _at_john_fereira Google Wave: fereira_at_googlewave.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
