Yes Verity, there are a lot of good memories from long ago. I see you are in Alaska. The only time I was there was in February years ago. I was working in Mexico, temperature was in the 80s. I finished the job I was working on and called my boss. His reply was, Oh good! I have another job for you. Asked where. Prudhoe Bay. Flew back to Raleigh dumped the summer clothes out of my suitcase and filled it up with winter clothes. Caught the next flight to Anchorage. Spent the night, next day got a flight to Deadhorse. It was -40. My body wasn’t ready for that. I remember the sun had just started to come back. At noon it was two fingers above the horizon.
