Well I promised that there'd be some pictures the next time I posted. It's along drive out to my bush destination but I get to see sights like this! How many people get to drive by a couple of glaciers on their way to work? A picture just can't do it justice. And about global warming...this glacier did used to be a lot bigger when I came there as a kid!
This is the view outside my hotel. This is why I drive and don't fly. The little puddle-jumpers don't fly in this and I can be trapped there away from home for days. At least with the car I can take my life in my own hands and make a break for it.
My out of town office is kind of cool. It has those big heavy doors that used to have the frosted glass above. There is an outer office that you have to walk through. I picture "Sam Spade Private Investigator" on the door and a secretary that I can call "dollface". (I love old movies) But that gives you an idea of the feel of the place.
I am not there often so not really decorated. I basically put up a bunch of marine charts/maps.
This is the road in good shape. That is a snow plow barreling towards me at 60mph and yes I took this photo while barreling towards him! I will often try to follow one of the plows out of town and over the mountain pass. The snow falls so heavy and fast and the drifts also replace the snow very quickly. Much of the time I'm driving entirely on ice. Here you can at least see some of the lines.

I remember taking you out for a stroll on that glacier when you were a little guy. I think you were 9 or 10. Remember shoving the boulder off its ice pedestal and you were almost under it at the time. I also remember that long icy, snowy highway. Thanks for the memories -- Mom
