HEY....WHERE ARE THEY GOING? I feel like Ive been locked up tight for a century, waiting for someone to release me.~Christina Aguilera If your wondering what the title of tonights story has to do with my experiences today, let me cut to it with these three simple words....Alaska, Winter, and finally...Ducks. Ok, can you figure out where I am going with this one? Yes, I am in the last frontier, somewhere near Canada, and it is getting a might chillier up here rather quickly. The temperature is actually in the low 60s but you can feel a difference in the morning...it feels vaguely familiar, but snow in August? It cant be, right? I have been noticing that there have been an influx of Duck meetings at the coffee shops around here, and then also seeing quite a few heading off in a Southernly direction for some reason. Alright, I know, there not Ducks, they are Geese...But when they are loud, and seem to be going somewhere I am not, they all look like Ducks to me.... The reality I am slowly facing, is that even if I had a GENIE IN A BOTTLE, and did rub it the right way, I wont be going with them this time around. I am locked in to the new and fresh experience of fall, then winter, in my new home here in Alaska....No sun tan lotion required...not for me...Maybe I should just wish for a snow bunny and call it good....( ) But its not quite over with yet, and Im not living in some kind of Igloo, or tieing the dogs together for my trip to the Walmart for milk and bread or anything, in fact, once the rain stops on Saturday, there will still be plenty of Summer like adventures to be had for a Lance. Today I was even doing the daily brochures for the upcoming State Fair, and got to read all about it while I worked...Bonus! There have some cool bands, a petting zoo, some rides, a train, and all kinds of food, frolicking, and fun....Unless of course it rains, in which case the train ride might be enough for me... It is coming my friends, without a doubt...The daylight is even going somewhere else, 6 minutes at a time, everyday, and that adds up to a lot less where I come from. At least I feel like I have some new things to focus on for awhile, like furniture, a snow shovel, some kind of super thermal, heated to the point of burning my skin, long underwear, and oh yeah, I want one of those cool ass parka things. You know the ones right? It has the fur around the hood that makes it like a periscope when you are looking through it... And what the heck are Muck-Lucks anyways? Is that some kind of new guy joke? Hey, Lance did you get your Muck-Lucks yet?...I saw them on sale at Sears....uh-huh, like Im going to ask the sales lady where those are at....not.... You know what they always say...Be careful what you ask for...especially if you not specific when you ask for it...But, I hear that since I wont be leaving anytime soon, the Moose come down into the city during the Fall to sign autographs, and discuss cooking tips for new guys...Oh, boy, the mind....It can create such vivid pictures cant it...and what would a continuing adventure be, without a little of the unknown to look forward to once in awhile? Stay tuned..... Thanks for reading, Lance still havent seen a damn Moose, day 52 Rome We continue because....we can.
