I tink I'm in Fargo, Eh... (UPDATED)

Road work goes on as usual. Made a town run yesterday and saw more progress.
It’s nice to know that with the economy up north, most if not all the truck traffic is road work related, not condo trucks. Condo construction seems to have come to a grinding halt. Well, with the exception of up north and we all have suspicions where that funding is coming from.
The peninsula has its first billboard! Oh sure, there have been big signs around the airstrip but they would hardly qualify as a billboard.
No, this is the real deal. Just like you would see on any Miami street corner. As generally accepted the Cocoplum project may be, this blogger sees that as a bit tacky. The owner has again sunk a bunch of money into it, well constructed, landscaped all around the base, but it’s still a billboard.
And you can’t miss it (that’s the whole point, right?), it’s right at the airstrip curve. If your gonna have a billboard, at least it's a nice one.
And you can bet your last beer this won’t be the end of them.

I swear, this has got to be the longest, coldest winter in Mental Breach history! Recorded history anyway. Last night, no matter how much anti-freeze we installed, we never really got warm. Blankets all on the bed, but when you rotate the pillow to the other side, look out!


Get up to take a whizz and when your feets hit that cold floor,,, I remembered going out to get the newspaper back in Denver in January with no shoes! I had to look out the window to confirm we had not been mysteriously transported to Alberta or some shit!
If you look close at that thermometer by Mrs. Barn, you can make out the butt-clinchin cold temp at about 1830 last night! And it dropped faster than the level of beer in my bottle!
OK,, almost everyone from up north who we tell this too just laughs. “Oh, I’m from pick-any-city-up-north-that-you-consider-cold. It was what-ever-cold-temp when we left, I don’t think I will be needing those blankets.”
But what they fail to realize is that we don’t have a thermostat to crank up, hell, we don’t even have windows we can close! If it’s 62 outside, it’s 62 inside! And don’t lie to me. If it’s 62 at your house, you turn up the heat.
I take that back. Both rentals do have a thermostat mounted on the wall.
Maybe I need to install one here as well?
Oh, and the next morning, the guests tell us they did use their blankets after all!
