Its down to 73 right now, bout to put on a shirt.  I really want to comment, but it would be real mean, and I was mean once already today! 
It is 19 outside. Want to move to California or Hawaii, but most of my guns/magazines would be illegal  .
Then again, I guess I should be thankful that I am not in fbks! |

Took this photo while marking trail for a dog race across the Inlet from Anchorage this past Saturday. It was about 5 p.m. on the Yentna River near the mouth of Lake Creek. Temp reading -48. That's the coldest we saw that we know of, never saw anything above -20 the entire weekend.
