Brian and I heard about this statue in town so we went to find it on
Saturday. Here's a link to the story:

Frozen Al Gore
Al Gore
Here's Brian in front of the Frozen Al Gore ice sculpture here in
town. Brian looks like he's ready to fight Al Gore!

Fireworks
After I worked for a while I rode back to the overpass and watched the
Statehood fireworks! There were Statehood celebrations all over the
state (Alaska became a state January 3rd, 1959) but on Jan. 3rd there
was ice fog in Fairbanks. So they postponed the fireworks till now.
Happy 50th, Alaska!
Sky
Beautiful day for a ride!
This was back on the overpass-- after Starbucks and picture-taking I
went into work.
Ice
Came across some guys harvesting ice. See how blue it is? This is in
the park where they have the ice sculptures in March.
Chena River
Chena River and the sky... So pretty today!
I was surprised at the amount of open water (it's not all open) but I
don't know why it is...
Chinook Arch
Today was warm again (right around 30 degrees) so I hopped on the bike
and rode around town. First stop: a picture of a "Chinook Arch". My
boss pulled me outside the other day to point one out-- he said it
doesn't happen here in Fairbanks very often.

the yard
Here's a shot from right outside my door. The sun was hitting just
the tops of the frosty trees!
Sun!
Here's the sun through the trees and fog at noon in Fairbanks. The
days are getting longer though!!!
Ice fog
This is on College Road-- usually you can see University Road from
here. That's Beaver Sports on the right.
poor little car
My poor car! It doesn't like this cold but it's been a trooper! (As
dad says "trust that fine german engineering!")

rain.JPG
I think I found a glitch in the weather reporting. It's definitely NOT
raining right now. This has amused me all day long.

Marais
Keeping an eye on her footless squirrel and pretending to listen (she
doesn't hear much these days!)
principals pretzels
Yum! Finished pretzels! Mom slaves over the dough all day and it
takes all of us to get them rolled, dipped in lye, salted and baked.
Pretzel rolling
Matt's doughy fingers! Weird face, but what great lighting!!! ;-)
(anyone see the catchlights in his eyes?)
Dad's find
Dad was really proud of his "new" jumpsuit! He needs it when he's
taking good care of the Rathbun Fleet!
