Which isn't to say it doesn't suck to be here, just that there are worse conditions to live in.

A skating rink, for instance. How many prisons do you know that have those? Or a bar, or a spa. In most places you'd be lucky to clip your toenails, let alone broil in a sauna. If you're Norwegian, you're automatically disqualified from answering.

...which I'm normally not. But I still remember that whole other life.
[For the record.]
