hospitality, fairbanks style



Caroline and Pat were up visiting from Anchorage this weekend - and got to enjoy fairbanks at it's finest. Temps bottomed out at 42 below (yes that's only 41 below in celsuis) on Saturday night here in the goldstream valley. They spent most of the day Sunday just trying to get their car started. Fortunately Ed let us borrow his weed burner, a very high tech devise used to warm a cold engine in extreme cold. That's just part of the hospitality you get around here - in addition to the doghair infested futon that's only 2 feet from the drafty door, and the comfy blue foam toilet seat. and i wonder why i don't get many visitors!!

Man--that weed burner came in handy for many people the past couple of weeks. i should try to make some $$ on the side for my services.
