What was I thinkin

Unfortunately for you this is one of those random thoughts I warned you all about in the title of this blog.

I watch some of those tv shows about Alaska and I tell Treasa how cool it would be if we just loaded our bees and goats and moved to Alaska.  Way out in the woods off the grid, hunt moose, bears etc. for our food. Chop some wood and set by the fire with no phone no racket just peace and quite.  I think about that all through summer into fall.  Right up to that point when we get our first Arctic blast.  That happened this week and just like every year before, I grab my coat and head out the door and I no more than get off the deck when I say to myself, "what the ___ were you thinking".  You wouldn't last a week in Alaska before they found you somewhere between the house and the outhouse frozen solid like a slab of meat in the freezer.  Probably some bear looking on saying mmmm fat boy sickle.

I know I know, you people living in Alaska, well even one state north, are probably thinking what a wimp. Yea, I know.  I just don't do cold.  I hate coats, gloves and all the other crap you have to wear just to keep your blood from freezing.  I guess I'll keep our seasons here in Oklahoma.  Most years we actually get 4 distinct seasons so you have 4 different points in the year to complain about the weather.  To cold, to hot, to windy, to dry.  Sometimes you can complain about all four in the same day.
