Spring Renewal

Santa was caught off guard by the sudden melting of the snow pack.

However, several little birds :

(any idea who this one is? Eastern King?)

told him that this was a good time to look at the possible up and coming teams of deer to pull that or those imaginative sleighs.

And don't tell me you don't believe in me - that will bring you bad luck:

Not all the teams can have Rudolf , so I was looking for passive

lighting for guidance, a natural solution, maybe? Will have to consider night blindness?

Here is a natural "8" for sticking together, although there is one already lying down on the job.

And ... ?

Or ...?

And they are all eating during the interviews:

You might ask how I got here so quickly? This answer is for DM and DM_ I use worm holes in in the gravitational field tensor. One end is at what you guys call the "North Pole" and the other end is at any convenient worm hole exit - this was chosen for its convenience and camouflage:

The deer are in the background quite unperturbed by my coming and going in my preferred means of transport for interviews.

It is reassuring that they can move about even when there is no snow. That means I would be able to use them just about every time and place in the future. Maybe would not be able to use them in flooded areas like Amsterdam, Boston, Cologne - the Rhein would be backed up by higher sea levels, rising tides, stronger storms, etc,, London, Miami, New York City, etc. Might use Sea horses! More likely Otter - they can "fly" already!

Fleet in 2024:
1 Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX (9 seats), 14 DHC-2 Beavers (6 seats), 23 DHC-3T Otters (14 seats), 4 DHC-6 Twin Otters (18 seats)

Vancouver’s seaplanes will soon be flying with electric propulsion

Seaplanes are a normal means of transportation in Western Canada. Starting in 2025, the largest operator, Harbour Air, aims to fly sustainably using electric propulsion with the e-Beaver.

I have not been able to confirm this in this source but had heard a year or so ago that e-planes were flying along the west coast. I think a good script writer would have them flying as drones with 3-D printers doing the manufacturing en route and quadro-copters making the final delivery.

(Ah, to be this young again!)

So I think if I can find good children, everyone will be good to go.
