This Is Progress?
I taught in Igaluit which the capital of Nunavut in Northern Canada and loved being in so awesome an environment at the top of the world. The people all came from somewhere else and that created a community of adventurers who looked at life and the challenges of living in such a harsh climate with acceptance. We would always joke about the town getting so big that it would need a traffic light and I saw this article today about that very thing. I never thought they would get so many cars up there that this would even be an issue. How many of you would love to live in a place with a '15 minute rush hour'?

It's funny, cause up until a couple of years ago, our town here in New England still had ONE stoplight. Now, that has changed due to "progress", as well.
I plan to retire to such a place, if all go wells. -- Mykal
Make that if all "goes well." Man, I hate typos.
No, 'go well' was right.
