I went to lunch with the receptionist, Kim, today to a place called Brower's Cafe. One of 3 or 4 restaurants here in Barrow. It was the best $16 cheeseburger I have had.....all of the food here is so expensive. The menu included American, Korean, and Mexican food. I guess since there are so few restaurants, they have to serve it all. No more debating about where to go or what kind of food anyone wants....go to Bower's and get pretty much anything you want.
On the way back from lunch, there was a high speed car chase. A large blue truck was being chased by three cop cars (probably the only cop cars in this town). I couldn't believe this moron was fleeing from the cops.....there is nowhere to go! we are surrounded by water and the ONLY way in or out of barrow is by plane and, literally, the top of the United States is only about 8 miles north of here. Where is he going? Kim explained that some people make tracks on the snow in their snowmobiles so they can get away. Evidently cop cars do not have 4 wheel drive. I don't know what this truck was thinking, but it was flying through Barrow trying to get away! I think if he did escape the cops, they should let him go because that would be an accomplishment. Escaping a chase on a frozen tundra with a population of 4,000 with 3 cop cars chasing you.....congratulations, sir, you do not have to pay that parking ticket after all.
Pretty excited about my 3 day weekend. I love getting a vacation when I am, technically, already on somewhat of a vacation. I am in Alaska for 4 weeks on a vacation and then they tell me I have a 3 day weekend of vacation on my vacation! How great is that? It's the small things that really get me excited.
I was invited to a 6 year old's birthday party tonight at the roller rink. I am totally going to dominate limbo on roller skates. these 6 years olds don't know who they are going up against!
I have a few more adventures planned for the rest of the weekend, but I might cancel them and duck tape my eyes shut so I can get some sleep. This 24 hours of sunlight is exhausting!
