Blocks of ...

In the midst of changing seasons this block of ice seemed appropriate for many of us as a reminder of temperatures to come.  While we may turn up the thermostat to keep warm, there's a assumption that heat will come in some form.  In the summer it could be air conditioning.  In Haiti realty is that to keep things cool will most likely mean purchasing ice (and only for food), that even being a luxury for most folks.  Few have access to any consistent source of power so if you are able to purchase ice that would be part of your daily routine.  Keep your eyes out along the road for the signs and piles of sawdust that cover the ice.
