Ma: Well, dangit, I still can't figure out how to push your blog posts through to Google reader, but I'm glad you mentioned the blog and sorry to have missed these last two posts!
ReplyDeleteI suppose everything is less variable there due to latitude-- less seasonal variation, less daylight length variation. KCMO is 39N, BOS is 42N, MSP is 45N but BNE is 27S, so quite a bit closer to the equator. Unfortunately, skin cancer risk is also strongly associated with latitude.
