Pretty.
But weird.
Pitch black by 2:00 PM would make me all off kilter.
Why, Darks --I'da thought you'd LOVE the dark..:))
Aquamarine, the paved roads are frozen over and snow covered from November until May, usually, and not visible.
There is a benefit in that, however, because the flow of vehicles and friction therefrom cause it to be smoother than the paved surface itself, and keep you cradled on the road.
I can attest to that from experience, one day when I was still living in Fairbanks (before getting base housing), I went downtown and to the main stoplight, where to get to the commissary at Ft. Wainwright (Army base right in town - our Eielson AFB was 30 miles south), I was to make a left turn.
There had been just enough traffic to make it slippery, though, and when I gently applied the brake to stop for the red light, my station wagon refused to slow down -- sailed right along with the grooves leading left -- with oncoming traffic!!
The Lord's amgels pushed me just fast enough through the intersection to avoid a major pileup..:))
I tell you, His angels had to work overtime to protect me up there --
