This another one of those leases democrats claim oil companies have leased but not developed.

Funny thing is I've actually heard some on the other side of the aisle make that statement too ;-)

I hope this goes through, always nice seeing work go forward.

I'm up now, man is it cold. I think the coldest over the last few days was -38 and windchill of about -75.

I once landed at Deadhorse and exited without much concern.

Wind was blowing heavily. I put my non-gloved hand on the metal handrail of the stairs, jerking it back in pain.

I bundled my coat around me because I hadn’t bothered to zip it up for the short walk to the terminal.

I ran inside thinking “DAMN ITS COLD”.

I looked at the weather screen. Windchill -72°F.

No gloves, open coat.

Be careful. The weather up there can be unforgiving and stupid (like mine) can be rather punishing.
