Subject: RE: BS: Happily Ever After In Guam
By the way, this morning we were talking about the similarities between Maine and Guam. Gordon started to speculate on the impact of winter on a culture, the planning and preparation it takes to get ready for the season. Then he said something interesting. Apparently the Chukese language has no future tense. They have past tense and present but no future, at least they didn't before the coming of the Europeans and Asians.
