Safe to go in the water?

Of all the things I gripe about where Barrow is concerned, I do have to admit they have an awesome library. The other day, I was in there and I found an itty bitty comic about mermaids. The artwork was all retro-cute, and it was full of sex, violence, and cute baby mermaids messily devouring sailors. Just a little bit trippy. The whole thing is by Junko Mizuno, who I hadn't heard of before. It's amazing what you find in the far reaches of the arctic.

Psh! We're now entering the time in Barrow known as 'spring'. Soon, the poor fools driven mad by cold, darkness, and cabin fever will venture like migrating lemmings to the shore. There, they will join the Polar Bear club, just because it's something to do. I am one of those fools. I did it my first year here. Somehow, I haven't felt the desire to do it again, and why should I? Membership is lifelong, they tell me.

Brave soul!!! I will never be a member of that club.
