Christmas in Spenard

yeah, it's a bit sleazy, but it's in Spenard!

" A sampling:

Donald: “My hair’s so tall, I can build a wall; I can keep the rapists out.”

Sarah: “There’s no such thing as climate change, your prayers will solve the drought.”

Donald: “I’m rich, I’m huge, I own half of New York City.”

Sarah: “I look hot on a snowmachine.”

Both: “I could kiss myself, I’m so pretty!”

Donald: “Don’t be a bum, just get a job, I don’t care if you’re on the skids.”

Sarah: “I could be Secretary of Labor, just to deliver Bristol’s kids.”"

Rails?

Or if one of the pictures in this thread can be believed, Flatcars.

You're batting out of order. I lobbed that softball specifically for Thor.

Unfortunately, the trains are standard gauge. This works well for the RO-RO Hydrotrain barge that services Whittier from down south. And of course, there's replacement parts to deal with, all commonly available.

2" - 3" on the ground, here. A foot and a half at the cabin. About 11°F. We could definitely use some more snow. Right now, all we're getting is a bit of hoar build up.

This is why you don't sleep up against an outside wall in winter at Prudhoe Bay.

That white shit is frost, because the mattress was against the wall.
