“We get a couple weeks of minus 60 every winter here in Eagle. Ya know, every repub I know was still planning on voting for Teddy; could care less about a political witch hunt down in D.C. People down there should straighten their own probs out before pointing fingers. Stevens can retire when he so pleases. Young still got alot of integrity in him too after all these years; they way he made Berkoboy look like a fool in the debates.”
Hello Eska, you’re up the Taylor along the Yukon. We dredge on Jack Wade. Sure was sad to see them tear the old dredge down. Glad I have plenty of pictures of it to remember it by. We’re down on the north side of the Wrangell/St. Elias. Stays a bit warmer than Tok...not by alot, but by enough.
Everyone in our neck of the woods said the same thing. They were voting for Ted. I saw lots of locals yesterday and folks here aren’t shy about telling you who they voted for. It was McCain/Palin all the way, and Ted and Don.
I hear ya about those in the lower 48 straightening out their own problems before lookin’ down their noses at us. “Berkoboy”...LOL....yea, he’s a fool alright.
Whenever I catch a chill working outside, I stop and thank my lucky Alaskan stars to be living up here where the only sound I have to hear is the woodstove crackling, the dogs snoring, and the wolves howlin’.
Whatcha got for snow up there? We only have about 6 inches or so on the ground. The storms lately have spread out around us.
Sorry about that double post. Computer must have hiccup’d.
Ya know for how critical those lower 48ers are about us voting for Stevens; I'd never head south for anything. They need to concentrate on their own probs as they have enough I do believe.
WE have an Amish Pioneer Maid cookstove and woodstove in basement. 2400 sq ft cabin is like 75 no matter how cold she gets down to outside. Nothing better than settin nx to hot cookstove, drying off from riding, feasting on stew & hot rolls.
a few locals are working claims out 70 mile this past summer
