To say nothing of Greenland. I'm surprised Denmark got its hackles up. A 
cash sale versus pouring in a few billion kroner a year? It must have 
something to do with Denmark's long history of losing real estate; they 
want to hang on to the little they have.

I was surprised when I read the suicide rate in Greenland peaks in the 
summer. I guess it's easier to stay drunk in the winter without the light 
hurting your hungover eyes.

I think it was Ernest Gann who talked about flying transports in WWII and 
refueling in Greenland. The fjords looked all the same; pick the wrong one 
and you were screwed.
