Square wheels

sometimes it is so cold in Fairbanks that cars get "square" wheels. And all the big rigs up here have marks painted on their trailer tires so they can tell if the wheels are turning.

Fantastic assortment of pics, Radix. The children, and their parents are key, IMHO. One family at a time if need be.
