fairbanks

did my usual shit at work today.
talked to a few people.
i'm starting to figure out if they give you a little information, you can build a whole conversation out of it.
before they'd say something at it would just be, "oh yeah" from me, or go deathly quiet.

this woman today mentioned she was from alaska, i pounced on that shit.
she's from fairbanks.
so she roughly knew the place where i'm going to be, which is between there and delta junction.
she said the weather should be fairly nice.
apparently to her the summer is best spent up there.
she said the thing to watch out for though, isn't bears, like most people warn me about, but fire.
poop.
she didn't mention bugs either, but said i should have a wonderful time.
...other than the fire...
hopefully i will...

one more fred shift, two more pool shifts.
then wedding shit.
THEN i'm off to get dirty in the last frontier, or whatever the shit it's called.

Summer in Alaska is like summer in Norway (only Norway is awesome and Alaska is creepy) so what that woman said about summers being best spent up there is true. It's like no other summer experience EVER...

fyi- if you're sleeping in tents you might want to borrow Kelley's face masks if you want to get any sleep.

yeah, but test it out first, cause i think it's one of those ghetto ones that lets the light in really. I used to wear two of those together to make em work, before I discovered a nice plush, thick, truly dark one at Bed, Bath and Beyond for 5 bucks. Ah, I can't believe I'm an eye mask connoussier....

And by the way, Alaska is not creepy! Have you ever been there even, Ams?

Alaska IS creepy actually. Only bad things happen there, or when arriving back from there. I have not been and have no plans of going.


PS.. Will someone take a picture of Travis with his "sleeping mask" on? LOL
