The Apocalypse for Western Society is now closer

This year I'm actually going to try to participate.  I anticipate less spending as I have given up Prequel collecting and gone OT exclusively.  Except for the odd fig here and there

January:

3 Cantina figs from Nataku - $29 US shipped
Blue Snag from Ebay - $97 US shipped 
Gretzky Legends fig Walmart - $11.50 CAN
Shipping for 2 trades - $26 CAN
2 R1-G4 figs Ebay - $21.50 US shipped

-4°C
Overcast. Light snow and light freezing rain.
   
FEELS LIKE     -10°C
WIND     E 19 km/h
GUSTS     
RELATIVE HUMIDITY     86%
DEWPOINT     -6°C
PRESSURE     100.21 kPa
VISIBILITY     4.8 km
CEILING     800 ft

Don't know how you Prairie boys do it, this is bad enough.   

It is, however, forecast to go up to +14 C  by next week here

I think that sums up hockey in the US.  Not enough people care.
They have World Cup games in Minnesota, the hockey hotbed of the US (and honourary 11th province).  The games, featuring Team USA, DON'T EVEN SELL OUT.   No idea if it was on TV, but I doubt it.
Ditto for the World Juniors.  The best-attended games are Canada's, with the arena full of fans who travelled south.  No TV.
2 awesome tournaments, one with the best pros and one with the best prospects.   Zero interest or coverage.
I'll never understand how owners figure they can make more money in Arizona with an empty arena and no TV than they could in Winnipeg with a  packed building and TV coverage that I can guarantee would have more viewers on a local station than a nationally televised game on ESPN...
