Funny thing was this affliction wasn’t as prevalent and thoroughly studied in the 70’s when I was living in the Arctic Circle, as what it is now. I remembered going through this emotional ride during the summer and especially when the temperature was holding steady at -50 in the dead of night in the middle of winter. Anyway, when I was going through it, I thought I wasn’t drinking enough or getting enough sleep and other curricular activities that make us partly alive. As the matter of fact some of my co-workers do resort to drinking, gambling and cajoling to keep themselves busy just to alleviate the symptoms and what have you. Case, in point the guy who lived next door to me in the bunkhouse where I stayed was deadly serious of being an alcoholic. He used to keep me awake at night with clinkering of the bottle caps being thrown into the garbage can. But I had a job to do, for as long as I wasn’t sick with a flu or pneumonia I soldiered on and logged cores hoping to find that next mother lode deposits of lead and zinc.

But you know what? Those were the best times in my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world…..
