North to the Future

A post from APD (Anchorage Police Dept)

"Fuel prices are obnoxiously high anyway, so use today’s weather as an opportunity to save fuel and leave your vehicle at home. You won’t need it.

We’re Alaskans. We have a canoe with a rope tied to the end. For today’s commute we recommend donning your ice skates to get out of your driveway and neighborhood. Make sure you pull your canoe behind you with the aforementioned rope. Once you get to the main roadway, hop in your water vessel and paddle your way to work.

Do you keep fishing poles in your canoe? Fantastic! Don’t take them out. You will have a chance to use them while stopped for the red light at intersections. While waiting for the lights to cycle through, you may as well throw a line in one of our newly formed road lakes and see if you can catch yourself some lunch. The water is deep enough.

Aside from doing the environment a favor by not burning gas today, you may also skip your trip to the gym (we’ll just pretend everyone is still charging hard with their new year’s resolutions) because you worked legs with the ice skating and upper body with the paddling. AND you are eating organic freshly caught ocean fare for lunch. No preservatives or additives.

LOOK AT YOU GO! Being all responsible and adulting like a boss.

Seriously - be super careful today. It's sloppy-slushy-wet-icy which has created really awesome bumper car conditions. SLOW DOWN."
 
Pretty far from Alaska. All the way across Canada! And, if you're going, now would be the perfect time to get the snowmachine gassed up for the trip. Might be too late to catch the sea ice east of Nunavut.
 
The one with the car loaded with snow driven by a moron is not Alaska. We don't have trolley wires, here.
