You see, summer in Alaska is an interesting time. It’s a four-month stretch of not-winter, and Alaskans have to take advantage of that fact by packing as many activities into eighteen hours of daylight as we can. Thus, indoor activities such as… oh, I don’t know… blogging, for example… tend to take a backseat to getting outside and soaking up the sun.
It’s not all fun and games, however. I thought I might share some of the things I’m forced to put up with during these grueling times.
On our trip to Fairbanks last weekend, I was forced to endure vistas such as this:
I was also forced to share the road with this guy:
After that, just outside of Fairbanks, I had to put up with driving through this:
You see? I don’t deserve your scorn. I don’t deserve your snide comments. Rather, I deserve your pity. Pity for the trials and tribulations I’m going through at the moment.
Pity expressed in the form of pictures of dead presidents would be especially welcome.
More to come.

Judging from those mountains, you folks in Alaska have quite a mole problem. We have a similar problem here, but not to that degree.
My condolences

That’s a bummer, man.
Couldn’t you maybe start a petition to get everything paved? And I’d call Animal Control and have them deal with that big dog.

Pinhole: So that’s what causes the uneven ground! Here I was, under the impression it was the Pacific tectonic plate colliding with the North American plate, or some such nonsense.

BAiFP: the petition is a great idea, but I don’t know if Animal Control will help with the dog - he’s running with an entire herd of buddies, or so I hear.
