So I am about to add a *bunch* of miles to my Alaska Airlines account with a trip to North Pole (yes, there is a town in Alaska called North Pole) via Fairbanks.
I was up there at the beginning of August and this is what I saw:
So I was actually working at North Pole High School. Programming the leading edge lighting control system for the whole campus (and integrating it with a central location so they can control the lights at 2 other schools as well as this one via a clever thing know as a network!!!). As I am going around the school I notice all the awesome TV's that are in every classroom. They really spared no expense at this school!!!
After the first day of work I go for dinner then go for a drive. I am driving the roads to the north of Fairbanks at around 9pm (bare in mind the sun doesn't set in the summer until around 1-2am, then rises at 2-3am as in IT IS ALWAYS DAYTIME!!!!) Driving around I actually saw one of those things that make you say 'Only in Alaska' Yep, came around a corner and there was A FREAKING AIRPLANE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!!!!! Naturally I had to stop and take a pic!
Then I continued on my way and passed an old Gold Dredge and the 'Howling Dog Saloon' which was obviously a class establishment!
And now a picture of what I come home to
Pictures from my trip to Santa's House will come in a little while after the sproggles are in bed.
