DeGamma...De Soto & De....Vokoun?

Ok so Im not an immortal explorer. But if you know me, you know that I love to drive aroud in a new place and get my bearings. You know..find the 7-11's or mini-marts. Check out to see if they have a Waffle House or a Sonic Drive In..stuff like that. Fairbanks.....ah well Fairbanks has none of the above. Or a Best Buy for that matter.But there are adequate choices for department & grocery store items. They Have Jiffy Lubes and Blockbuster Video stores. They also have an ungodly amount of hardware stores and the like. See people up here never throw shit away. They just fix it. There is a survival instinct that is somewhat foreign to me, but then again I might be the worlds unhandiest man, so maybe my view is skewed a wee bit.

So time keeps moving and I remain up here in the Land that Progress forgot. But the people are still nice and more importantly..I still have a job. I will check in tomorrow with more from,as my cousin calls it " The End of the Highway "

Remember the time you tried taking a nut off a with a pair of pliers that only had one handle? Just get a roll of duct tape. If that don't fix it, you don't need it.
