Rick, I was so fed up with lousy weather, that I packed my down hill skis and headed some thousand kilometers north to Finnish Lappland. So the project is on hold until next thursday when I drive back home.

But no post without a photo! In the picture you can see what I encountered about 40 kilometers before I reached our cottage at Ylläs, our Lappland 'base camp'. There was a full heard of these, but this was the only one stupid enough to hop on the road... Mind you, the car is stationary at the time I took the picture, so no harm was done to the reindeer featured in the picture... (Gotta be sure I don't get sued by some animal rights activist... )

Sorry for the off-topic stuff.
