Waking up in the Goulag

The Earth Module pulled into the driveway in Hazen yesterday. After waking up every morning to sunshine in the southwest Kadizzle feels like he has been sentenced to a Russian prison camp. Someday the sun will shine in Hazen, but today is dreary with just enough snow sitting around to make one question his sanity. As Old Black Joes said "All the world is dark and dreary everywhere I go". That seemed to be the feeling around Hazen with everyone we met. Spring cannot get here quick enough. North Dakota has a high suicide rate which would be considerably lower if people would make it a point to escape in the winter for a couple weeks.
