    I lived in Fairbanks, AK for almost three years. I’ve also lived in Bethel for a little over a year and spent about 6 months in Barrow. I grew up in Anchorage. If I could afford to have seasonal houses, my summer home would be in Barrow and my winter home would be in Fairbanks.

    Fuck anywhere that gets above 65F at any point during the year. It’s currently 62F in Anchorage and while it’s bearable, it’s bordering on becoming miserable.

    Fuck Summer and the Sun it rode in.

      That sounds so amazing. Air temperature outside my car driving back from the store was 114F a few minutes ago. You can’t go outside, you can’t get fresh air into your house, and the a/c runs full blast 24/7 just to hit 72F inside, until the power grid fails, again, because it’s more profitable to not properly maintain the equipment. I need to get out of here. Texas sucks.
