to be honest, not sure. i imagine Torres is significantly windier and probably a bit colder, but how much colder I'm not really sure.

It would be intersting to figure out. Is Summer in Torres like winter in the Sierras? My guess is that it would be close.
Not sure, but it's fairly decent in summer there. Still, LOTS of wind.

I deconstruct trash, then crease and fold it by some order of magnitude before I dispose of it.
I am ridiculed mercilessly for this.

However, the wife will through the boxes into the bins in the office and kitchen with out breaking them down. I break them down and fold them flat. Saves me from taking the extra trip out to the recycle bin.
Idon't know if overall I'm saving work for myself or knot.
