here comes the sun.....

Waking this morning I looked out my hotel window and what do I see? Palm trees and sunshine. 24 hours ago, when I awoke it was still dark outside and it was a whole lot colder then here. It's only +6C outside (and I'm sure most of my Yukon friends will cringe at the only or the temp) but it is supposed to hit +20C today. Back in Dawson the high for today's forecast is -22C and it won't get light until after 10am and it will be dark by the time the work day is done.

It is different here though. I pulled into a fast-food place last night and there was a sign on the outside saying "No Weapons allowed in restaurant". I realize that the US is facisnated with their guns, and they truly have a gun culture, but it's always a rude awakening when I see it. Blows my mind sometimes.

This should be an interesting trip.


and the beat goes on......
