... and you've had time to thaw out.  Feel any different?  What's stuck with you the most?

… jealous? AK is a wonderful destination at least once in your life.

Agreed

I’m going back. 
Real winter is like being on another planet to me. 
Fairbanks is The Wall. To go any farther north you need a specialist ride like a SkiDo or a de Havilland Otter.
Fairbanks itself is easy to get to, and easy to get around in. Folks are nice. Alaskan architecture is very much Neo-I don’t give a shit, mixed with classical Tyvek. And the food ain’t much different. 

Land is cheap, houses are expensive. I’d be perfectly happy with a container house off of Chena Springs Rd. 
 

I’ll go back next year for the ice sculpture contest, unless I make bank, then I’m going to Nuuk to see a polar bear and stay somewhere unpronounceable.

Winter is astonishing

If you go mid to late September, you can watch Fall occur in weeks. Twice I landed with the colors just changing and in two weeks most the leaves had fallen.

Three thieves bent over a campfire.

The leader arose and said, "Dan, tell us a story."
