Jo hut out a hahen this deek with
out writing about the weather would
be passing up an opportunity that
comes once in a lifetime.
when alltime records for the
North American continent are broken,
that is news.
Alaska has always been that of
as being an icebound country, and

- 82 degrees it is going to be hard
to convince those who still believe
that Glaska is a land of igloos and
icebergs, that we do have a lovely
climate comparable to omthing in
the States.

run wild, we are going to have to
do alot of explaining not only to
ourselves but to those in the States.
