Oh, goody!
I take that as a license
- to steal any graphics posted that I covet
say things about Sistah Nan, since she will not be here until tonight
- post helpful things like the time and current temperature in Fairanks this rather balmy October day there:
Am multitasking with "household musts,* but will stop to monitor until at the least 3 p.m....sure to be here this evening.
It was common to see women shoppers in any store dressed in outdoor garb, boots, etc. and a fur coat or parka, with a necklace strung with gold nuggets!
A man one day went to purchase a new car, and used gold nuggets to pay for it.
One bizarre story, though, was a time when my husband and friends went down by Tok, Alaska to hunt moose and caribou.
They were way out in the boonies, when along came a truck with a man and woman dressed to the hilt in evening finery and fur coats.
Talking with them, they'd been to Fairbanks for dinner and the opera, and were headed "home" - their mine much farther out!
To get there, they hopped aboard a huge bulldozer, still dressed to the nines, and headed out - - !!
