Out of the frying pan into the fire.
An e-friend of mine moved from Texas just ahead of the recent record-breaking cold. Bill and his wife, Jo Lynn, got the last flight out of Austin before the bone-chiller froze the Lone Star State, Dalhart to South Padre. Where did they go?
Alaska! And I don’t mean Juneau. The couple moved to Barrow, Alaska, right on the Arctic Ocean, where the temperature was 51 below the week before they arrived and the nearest tree is 200 miles south. Poor tree.
The kicker (I’m quoting Jo Lynn):
“You know things are bad when you hear men in the Post Office of Barrow, Alaska, talking about the terrible conditions in Texas!!!”
