Today marks the beginning of Fur Rondy, a big winter carnival held every year in Anchorage. Originally, the Fur Rondy was when all the trappers and furriers brought their goods to Anchorage to trade and sell. Nowadays, it's like a local version of Mardi Gras.Only, y'know, with a lot less exposed skin and public debauchery.
The opening ceremony will feature fireworks. And I think the Miners & Trappers Ball is tonight as well. I know that the Melodrama definitely starts tonight.
And tomorrow there will be the Reindeer Run, a sort of Alaskan version of the running of the bulls. Only, y'know, with reindeer.
A bunch of folks from The Job have signed up for the Reindeer Run. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll have a tonne of folks at the office, watching events unfold from the roof. They'll be dragging their families along with them, which means I'll have to interact with spouses and children.
On a Sunday.
Yeah, Sunday's aren't my best days.
I'll definitely be stopping off at Charbucks for a quad latte with extra syrup.
Still alive and staying home tonight. - G.
