(That's the upside for every well covered blizzard we have here.) From your list, however, we've got nothin' on Alaska.<BR/><BR/>PS - While traveling yesterday, I had to pee and the service station's pipes were frozen. I happily went behind a retaining wall and thanked the heavens it was not Alaska and only freezing (I doubt it was below 0 F, even with windchill) so that I didn't freeze my rear off. In fact, the worse part was wading through a knee deep drift to get to the retaining wall. Not prepared for that, in sneakers and jeans.Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-3598129606460032472007-12-23T11:49:00.000-06:002007-12-23T11:49:00.000-06:00Each spring we place a big order for Avon Skin So ...Each spring we place a big order for Avon Skin So Soft. We get the spray, the lotion, and the small tubes that go in our hydropacks for hiking. Avon also makes a version that comes as hand whipes, which is pet safe, and we get enough to last the summer.<BR/><BR/>We avoid anything with DEET, plus the Avon stuff contains sun block. <BR/><BR/>As to Alaska being a foreign country, well I <I>am</I> regularly asked what language we speak here, what type of money we use, do we live in igloos, is it <I>really</I> dark all the times and is the snow 40ft deep? I answer yes to every thing, less people who want to come to Alaska the better. :)<BR/><BR/>And I have used a snowblower on the roof.

I don't know if I think it only made some of them slide off of me or made all the rest stick to me. Either way, I didn't think that much of it.<BR/><BR/>Whenever we're on location in some place that doesn't seem to have a lot of film production, the front page of the newspaper always has a picture of the most impressive looking truck...the <EM>Honeywagon</EM>.<BR/><BR/>Snowblower stuck on the roof? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
