Or, stated another way, "this thread contains the wisdom of the ages."

As far as 3000 posts by New Year's Day; that may be a bit ambitious, but 3000 by January 10th ( the third mensiversary of the OP) should be doable.

We would all be wiser if we all just went out and took pictures.

And posted them here.

The wind is gusting up to 50 kph, the wind chill is in the low -30's C, it's pitch black and the sun set at 2:00. You go out and take pictures.

Thanks for the warming thoughts but you need wood to build a fire and the nearest tree is probably 700 miles from here

This is the most insane thread of 2013 and deserves a prize

The seals are probably 700 miles in the other direction.

But most on this thread already purchased a K-3 ... hence the insanity

Not yet... it is on a back-burner thou.

Compared to the physcological circus that is my extended family during the holidays, this thread is a breath of normalcy!!
And no I'm not buying a K-3 because if ever I can I'm going for the K-50
